I have a magical power. No, not one that can conjure up fire, allow me to read people's minds, or enable me to see through women's clothing; although that would be convenient. My power is simply that of art; I can sketch the best portrait of an apple that you'd ever seen. What? That's not magical? Am I under the wrong definition of this word? Dictionary.com defines magical as "mysteriously enchanting". Urban dictionary defines magical as "something hardcore amazing". I think my drawings are pretty amazing, and they're quite enchanting, at least to me they are. But, the reason drawing is my
magical power, is because it lets me save others. Quite hardcore, if I do say so myself. "How?", you may ask. You'll soon find out. You can start by reading page one.
Young Cory, an aspiring artist, travels to live in his parents' home state, Hawaii, for college and, of all things, females. Though, he never expected his art skills to imprison convicts. When Cory draws the popular jewelry thief, the Justice Department seems to fancy his abilities and makes him on of their assets.

It's the last year of high school, and everything has changed . . .
*****
After a summer spent in the Philippines, Lara Dela Cruz is eager to start her senior year and, most importantly, reunite with her three besties. But what she did not expect was to show up on the first day of school to all three of her friends now in relationships. Fighting for their attention, catching some new and confusing feelings for long-time frenemy James, and wading through the pressures of post-high-school plans all have Lara reeling. And to make matters worse, Lara's beautiful and untrustworthy cousin conveniently appears and wiggles her way right between her and James' budding relationship. Feeling like a third wheel in more ways than one, Lara must learn to accept that change is inevitable, love is complicated, and being the odd one out is sometimes where inner power is found.
