So, he makes an adventure out of learning human magic, like maps and coordinates, following a recipes (included), writing in his journal, then learns his grandfather had written stories, gave them to Mormor, who sent them in letters to her granddaughters Darcy and Dawn, mere humans! Maybe friendship is not in his future, or maybe . . .

Fun for all ages!
