Whorls and Swirls in Funny Bags of Wind — Charles Elton

Lorem Lavel grew up allergic to magic -- not really a problem, unless you're born into a wizarding family and your destiny is to release the realm of magic from banishment. Not a problem at all. In this world, where magic is hidden by a time worn curtain, where sorcerers walk in secret and evil plots within the walls of the local shopping mall, Lorem must forge his destiny through cryptic prophecies, crazy wizards, talking trees and ten-year old twins who call him Pops. Lorem's adventure rivals the madness of magic's wonderious power over us. Logic leaps, assumptions scurry and expectations explode as conventions, tropes and rationality are ground in the mill of imagination -- hold on to your hat and hang on to your wand, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
