About the Book
Score falls victim to a deadly illness with only one cure: stopping the
mysterious person behind this magical attack. Determined to save their
friend, Helaine and Pixel go to Score's hometown, the Earth city of New
York, to seek out his attacker, who is using Score's most precious item
to hurt him: his mother's amulet.
Finding the amulet
proves to be difficult on Earth – an unfamiliar world of cars,
skyscrapers, and guns for Helaine and Pixel – where their magical powers
are severely weakened. Luckily, the trio stumbles upon a wealthy
businessman who promises to help them in return for curing his disabled
daughter – but is he really on their side? And then there's Bad Tony,
Score's abusive father, fresh from jail, who shows up with gun-toting
thugs to kidnap his critically-ill son. Will Helaine and Pixel find the
amulet in time to save their dying friend?
