Overly paranoid thirteen year old Kipper Sallow had an ordinary life as the middle child in the small town of Silver Lake that he grew up in. Nothing noteworthy ever happens to him, and if it did, he was sure no one would notice; Kip feels essentially invisible to the world. That is until a peculiar girl with color-changing hair comes into his life, of all people, and knocks it entirely upside down and then some. She claims Kip is meant to be some sort of hero, which he finds hard to believe. However, when he finds out that not only the people he cares about most live's are at stake, but the whole world as well, he realizes he'll have to put aside his paranoia, and with the help of new friends from faraway places, save everyone from the evil that lurks and threatens the world.
(NOTES: this story is mostly practice for my writing and is a major work in progress, obviously. The title -and other things about the story- is not definite and it is still subject to change. Some of the tags are more relevant -or will be- later on in the story. I have no idea how long this story will go on for tbh. Hope you enjoy the read, such as it is, and feel free to leave comments if you have any questions or tips!)
