Publisher's Synopsis
Surviving high school is hard. Surviving a magic zone is worse.
Fourteen-year-old Todd just wants a summer job. Instead, he finds himself dodging necromancers, befriending talking parrots, and delivering packages across cities swallowed by enchantment. In a world where magic is spreading like wildfire, scrambling tech, awakening monsters, and warping reality, Todd discovers he has a rare magical gift... and it's put a target on his back. The Magic Zone is no place for the unprepared. Electronics fail. Cities fall. Magic isn't a fairy tale; it's how you stay alive.Armed with a hoverboard, a sarcastic sense of humor, and a heart bigger than his backpack, Todd sets out on an epic, hilarious, and often dangerous quest to find his place in a rapidly changing world. How to Survive in a Magic Zone is a fast-paced YA contemporary fantasy perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Amari and the Night Brothers, and The Wild Robot. A coming-of-age adventure full of magic, monsters, and the power of found family.
