Wrongly blamed for vandalism when words from his journal magically appear on a wall at school, Clay, who no longer believes in magic, is sent to a camp for troubled kids where he encounters more magic than he ever thought possible Magic is BAD. As in fake. Cheesy. Unreal. At least, that's what Clay, who has seen one magic show too many, thinks. When words from his journal appear mysteriously on his school wall as graffiti, he never imagines that magic might be to blame. And when the same graffiti lands him at Earth Ranch, a camp for 'troubled' kids on a remote volcanic island, magic is the last thing he expects to find.
