There’s nothing more powerful than a good story. Twelve-year-old Ronnie Jackman has gone through something no child should ever have to face. Not only did he lose both of his parents, but he watched them die in a raging fire. His pain runs deep and there is no telling what would have happened to him if he didn’t meet Mr. Griffin, a mysterious substitute teacher who helps Ronnie tap into a wellspring of imagination that was waiting inside of him.

Ronnie revels in his newfound ability. But there comes a point when it appears his imagination is literally starting to get away from him. The line between writer and story begins to blur, and characters from Ronnie’s stories start appearing in the real world. Ronnie must learn to control his imagination.
