Synopsis

From giant spiders to floating islands in the sky, Josh Anvil is in for the ride of his life. Josh Anvil’s freshman year is off to an unforgettable start. When a mysterious swamp encounter leaves him with the power to materialize anything he talks about, his world turns upside down. Suddenly, telling a simple campfire story brings real dragons and monsters into existence. Alongside his tight-knit crew from the local StoryTeller’s Club, Josh must navigate a world of newly awakened magic and unexpected dangers. But when his abilities attract the watchful eye of the FBI and a shadowy enemy out to kill him, Josh must uncover the dark connection between his powers and a series of arson fires terrorizing the city. Blending urban fantasy, laugh-out-loud comedy, and pulse-pounding action, Josh Anvil and the Cypress Door is the ultimate adventure for middle-grade and teen readers alike!
