Going on summer vacation to an unfamiliar country—Japan—fifteen-year-old Kenny Blackwood expects no unpleasant surprises. But the oddities start already on the plane. A mysterious message from his grandfather, with the note “eat it after reading,” and a whistle attached to it; a strange creature on the luggage rack that no one else can see—only Kenny… And that’s only the beginning.
Right in the Tokyo airport the boy is taken into custody without explanation, and his jailer is a mysterious Japanese man who apparently knows magic. Magic?!
Can Kenny escape from this trap and understand what’s happening before it’s too late? He doesn’t even know yet that the key to saving—or destroying—the world is in his hands.
