Fire-breathing grasshoppers in the garden. Line-dancing fireflies in the cemetery. A murderous unicorn hidden in the forest.

When the nature in his grandparents’ town becomes unnatural, 13-year-old Sam, his grandfather, and the girl next door investigate. But this, the most exciting thing that’s ever happened to Sam, has a catch. He can’t tell his best friends from home what he’s discovered because they’ll plan a dangerous adventure with it, an adventure that could turn nature upside down—permanently.

In this light-hearted coming-of-age novel, the snarky hero pits his wits against magical creatures and, in the process, discovers who he wants to be and who his real friends are.
