What at first seems like a harmless Halloween scavenger hunt
turns dangerous for eleven-year-old Alyssa J. Renae Harvey-more
commonly known as AJ-and her twelve-year-old best friend,
Khristian. When AJ snaps a photo in front of the home of the local
neighborhood bullies, she doesn't know she's captured the face of a
terrorist. That terrorist will do almost anything to get that
camera and destroy the photo.
AJ and Khristian receive help from a most unexpected source-Max,
the Harveys' collie-German shepherd mix. Max risks being shunned by
all the other animals and breaks the Animal Code of Silence to warn
the kids they are in danger. He informs them that the scruff y men,
who are hiding out at the yellow house on the corner, are after
them.
Max, AJ, and Khristian work to uncover what the men at the
bullies' house are up to and try to stop them from hurting anyone.
Max may be kind of lazy, and he may be afraid of thunder, but when
it comes to his humans, Max risks everything to save them.

meeting an eclectic cast of characters along the way. But even in
this place, Angela and Tony become embroiled in mischief. After
all, what kid wouldn't want the power to transform into a beastly
dragon or the ability to command any inanimate object to fly across
the room?

plans to overtake the magical world. Can Angela and Tony defeat him
before the wizard destroys everything they've come to love?

Timmy and his friends are nice kids, but a bit outside the cool
zone. They get picked on a bit. But only in a mild intimidation
way. One fine weekend they realise that they each have a power.
Being a bit rubbish, they don't go out and test their powers to the
max, instead deciding to wait and see what happens, and where the
powers may become useful. One of the group, Hugh, has a sister who
discovers the boys secret and becomes part of the group, despite
having no special powers of her own. After a minor skirmish with
the school bully's, the friends are drawn into a fight between good
and evil, but who knows what is good and what is evil. The boys
wrestle with their twisting feelings about this eternal question,
and where it will all end. We just don't know. And then we do!
