A kid with no magic. A convention full of it. One chance to discover who he really is...

Twelve-year-old Toby wakes up to find his grandpa has been kidnapped by a talking panther. (Just your average Tuesday morning, right?)

Following the clues left behind, Toby stumbles into the 999th Magicians' Convention — a secret gathering of spellcasters, illusionists, and magical mischief-makers from around the world. There's just one problem: Toby has no idea what he's doing. Everyone else belongs in this world. He's just the kid who followed a talking panther into a magical mess.

But sometimes, the most powerful magic isn't what you can do — it's who you choose to become.

With help from his new friends Thatch and Wesa, Toby must race to recover a legendary hat before an evil magician gets his hands on it. What starts as a rescue mission soon unravels into something far bigger: ancient artifacts, missing parents, and a magical war bubbling beneath the surface.

At the heart of it all? A boy who might not be so ordinary after all.

Can a kid with no magic survive a world built on it — especially when everyone he trusts might be hiding dangerous secrets?

Does your reluctant reader love fantasy adventures but struggles to connect with "chosen one" heroes who seem perfect from page one?

You're not alone. Many kids crave magical stories about characters who feel as ordinary and uncertain as they do — kids who have to earn their place in extraordinary worlds.

Your child doesn't want another story about the special kid who discovers they're secretly powerful. They want to read about someone who feels left out, overlooked, and ordinary... until they prove that the best magic comes from courage, friendship, and refusing to give up.

Here's what's really happening: Kids don't just want to escape into fantasy — they want to see themselves reflected in magical worlds where being different isn't a burden, it's a superpower waiting to be discovered.

That's exactly what The Magicians' Convention delivers.
