Jabbertweedle

Will has a problem. It is autumn at Island Academy, an exclusive, superficially experimental school floating in frigid Pacific waters, and Will’s clubhouse has started spewing up impossible magical characters: Jab, a boy with glittering claws that his unfashionable gloves do little to disguise; Pollux (there may be more than one of him), whose mad glint always presages chaos; Trivo, a sadistic feline type who seems to be missing something, everywhere; and assorted bad tempered plant life, hallucinogenic pastry, and the occasional sentient, anthropomorphic Beatles ballad.

Join Will and his gifted friends as they fail spectacularly to contain the fantasy menacing their school. Jabbertweedle is what would happen if Lewis Carroll, Mikhail Bulgakov, and Roald Dahl got together to produce a portrait of suburban American school life that straddles the pedestrian and the bizarre.
