Fourteen-year-old Oliver García would love to just get through high school. His soccer teammates call his dream boring, but he doesn’t care. He’s the son of hard-working immigrants, and he’d be a fool to let the American Dream go to waste. First he’d get through high school. Next he’d figure out trade school. But then Oliver meets Archie, a talking feathered serpent, and Oliver realizes that—just maybe—his dream had been way too boring after all. Because Oliver, the flying serpent reveals, is a wizard. Better yet, he’s just what the Other Side of the Key needs to solve a multi-generational mystery involving a 17th century oracle, an eccentric history professor, an evil politician, and the Legend of the Iguana’s Scroll. Danger, mystery, and intrigue wait around every corner in Oliver’s debut magical-treasure-hunting adventure, but he doesn’t mind. Now that he’s had a taste of the Other Side, there’s no way he’ll ever go back to worrying about picking a trade school.
