Smudge's Mark

Simon is an O.W.N.O. (Orphan with No Options). He lives with his deranged grandfather and a horrible housekeeper, Griselda, who punishes him by making him trim her toenails with his teeth. Unable to remember anything about his mother or father, Simon is haunted by a dream of an eagle, a serpent and an angel that smells like bubblegum. Then one night his dreams change. The angel gives him a special object - the broken half of an enchanted key - that is still with him when he wakes up. The key is desired by many, but destined only for him, and it will change his life forever.
