A Boy works for a Magician. The Boy polishes the Magician's wands, and catches the rabbits that the Magician pulls out of hats. But the Boy's favorite job is operating the puppets for the Magician's famous puppet play, "Saint George and the Dragon" -- until one terrible day when, in the middle of a performance, the Boy can't find the Saint George puppet. The Magician is furious. He points a long magical finger at the Boy, and -- poof! -- the Boy is suddenly in the strange Land of Story, where he must find Saint George.

Dear Diary..."Magic is a mystery that doesn’t need solving.” That’s what illusionist Drake Lonestar told me when I saw him perform. I was skeptical that the famous magician could really make the River Heights courthouse disappear, but I was wrong. It turns out that the courthouse wasn’t the only thing that vanished. So did important evidence relating to a jewel heist — and all signs point to Lonestar as the thief!

I just hope I can do it soon, because I have a feeling Lonestar has one last trick up his sleeve....
