阿斯特和他的家人正在適應他非同尋常的巫術天賦；與家裡的其他男孩不同，他並不是一個變形者。他正在和祖母一起上巫術課，並幫忙照顧他的叔祖父，他的叔祖父的腐化魔法給家裡帶來了巨大的破壞。與此同時，阿斯特在鎮上非魔法區的朋友查理也遇到了自己的麻煩——一個詛咒試圖附在她身上。她跑向阿斯特並逃脫了詛咒，但現在朋友們必須找到詛咒的源頭，以免更多人——無論是普通人還是魔法世界的人——受到傷害。
From the creator of the acclaimed graphic novel The Witch Boy comes a new adventure set in the world of magic and shapeshifting -- and ordinary kids just trying to make friends.
Aster and his family are adjusting to his unconventional talent for witchery; unlike the other boys in his family, he isn't a shapeshifter. He's taking classes with his grandmother and helping to keep an eye on his great-uncle whose corrupted magic wreaked havoc on the family.Meanwhile, Aster's friend from the non-magical part of town, Charlie, is having problems of her own -- a curse has tried to attach itself to her. She runs to Aster and escapes it, but now the friends must find the source of the curse before more people -- normal and magical alike -- get hurt.
