Description
When Finn buys a magic pen at a market stall, it seems like all his problems are solved… but the good times don’t last in this action-packed adventure featuring life on the run, basketball battles, family secrets, and more moral conundrums than you could shake a pen at.
Eleven-year-old Finn lives with his four foster siblings and the TERRIBLE Mr and Mrs Grimshaw. Everything might look okay from the outside, but at home, the Grimshaws lock Finn in the basement and reign terror over his little brothers and sisters. Will the power of a magic pen help Finn save himself and his siblings from their nightmare foster parents, and find out the truth about his past?
Join Finn on an adventure beyond his wildest dreams, armed with a pen that makes everything he draws come true. From defeating a bully in a basketball match to stealing the limelight and serenading the guests at his fancy hotel, Finn discovers he has the power to do anything! But soon, the consequences of his actions start to mount up.
Can Finn resist the temptation of an easy fix and save the day without the increasingly dangerous help of the pen? Find out in this fast-paced, engaging story about family, jealousy, morals, and the importance of being kind to others.
