Twelve-year-old Jamie Carson has always thought of himself as boring and ordinary. He's not particularly good at anything, doesn't stand out in a crowd, and spends most of his days practicing fractions with his tutor, Mr Plemmon. But everything changes when he discovers a strange necklace along with a note from a mysterious man called Larry, that was left in the woods for his father, who passed away seven years ago. Desperate to find out more about his father, Jamie is determined to track Larry down by any means necessary - even if that means transporting himself to another Kingdom called Elholavina, filled with magic and evil creatures that seek to harm him. Jamie and his newfound friends (Lawrence, a small being with a short fuse and quick wit, his daughter, a secretive girl who hides half her face behind a mask, and Vincent, an ex-soldier and old friend to his father) must face the evil Queen Nerisa and her minions in order to find The Stone of Entrapment, a magical object that will free the only group of people who have the power to send him home.
