Terrell has problems. He lives in a small old apartment. His mother has to work so hard he hardly gets to see her. His English teacher keeps blaming him for things. Two bullies seem to be able to get away with making his life miserable. Animals follow him wherever he goes. Shadows seem to be watching him and a dragon took his father away.
When he finds his father’s magical flute hidden under his mother’s bed, he begins his journey in a mystical land of elves, ogres, and dragons. His adventures will lead him to find out who he really is and how he can overcome the bullies in both worlds.
