Uncle Fonzo has always been cagey about what his duties as Hand of the Penn family actually entail. Dixon figures they mainly involve playing poker with other middle-aged Scriveners, while Yuri suspects there are semi-legal dealings under the poker table as well.Whatever his typical responsibilities might be, Fonzo's got his hands full with a new grandchild on the way. So when he's tasked by the head of circuit to find Pinyin Bay's next mayor, he passes on the burden - er, opportunity - to his favorite nephew.No problem! Dixon doesn't know much about Handless politics, but he's sure he's acquainted with plenty of folks who'd make a fine public official (meaning, someone who won't obstruct Scrivener interests.) But when he and Yuri get to know the potential candidates a bit better, they discover each one is stranger than the last.Can the boys find a Scrivener-friendly mayor before time runs out? Or will the worst possible candidate in Pinyin Bay win simply by default?The ABCs of Spellcraft is a series filled with bad jokes and good magic, where M M romance meets paranormal cozy. A perky hero, a brooding love interest, and delightfully twisty-turny stories that never end up quite where you'd expect.
