Synopsis

This is a story about magic, if you like that kind of thing.

It is also a story about a ghost with amnesia, an unpopular fairy, an ungrateful town, and a wise and helpful raven (who happens to be a pretty good storyteller).

But mostly, it is about a friendly little wizard who lives inside a big hill and really, really, really wants to be a hero.

His name is Gumluck, and he is a bumbling noodlehead.

In this tall tale about a short wizard, celebrated author Adam Rex proves once and for all that the biggest heroes often come in the smallest nightgowns.
