New Mexico middle-schooler Augie Hobble grapples with adolescence, paranormal mysteries, an overdue Creative Arts project, and heartbreaking loss while living and working in his father's theme park, Fairy Tale Place.

Augie Hobble lives in Fairy Tale Place, a place which is not as magical as its name promises--it is his father's rundown amusement park. Augie's life feels rundown as well--he has failed Creative Arts, the girl he likes ignores him, and the school bullies have targeted him. On top of all this, there seem to be paranormal events happening around him, but not all of them seem bad. Some of them might even help turn his life around.
