Ten-year-old Ren Singerson has a magic problem. This is no ordinary pulling-a-coin-out-of-an-ear or a bunny-out-of-a-hat-magic, it’s much scarier and bigger than all of Ren’s fears are coming to life. Which is why he isn’t excited about a family trip to Italy. Even though he’s missing school and can eat all the gelato and pizza he ever wanted, it means coming face-to-face with the two fears that scare him most and there’s no one that can help––not his mom, dad or twin sister Evie. He’s all alone.
