The world ends at midnight on Halloween.
Unless one young man can stop it.
Jeremy Strache believed onslaughts of homework, keeping up with video games, finding the nerve to face the girl and not having a skateboard to be major problems. But upon discovering the puzzling Courtyard where doors open by themselves, time goes haywire and a plethora of peculiar props line the walls, he sees his worldview had been too narrow. His horizons expand as the enigmas heighten. Jeremy needs to learn more about the Master magician hailing from another world. But the Master doesn't want to be found. The boy's growing disinterest in the mundane and depression over his late father lands him diagnosed as attention deficit. Chalk up prescription drugs as one more woe among failing friendships and mounting fears. The Master's rival seeks to usurp control, forcing the boy into action. Ultimately Jeremy realizes his integral role in preventing the destruction of all reality. Can he successfully survive high school while attempting to wield magic in time to save two worlds from an evil warlock? Isn't just being a teenager trying enough? The deadly fright fest rages on and the stroke of midnight draws ever closer…
