A college student and his younger, hapless brother come upon a time machine device (a belt, in fact, ostensibly created by their brilliant physicist older brother) and try to use it to get rich. Or at least happy. They fail repeatedly but, unbeknownst to them, they are a tremendous success to their brother's rival who seeks to control time-travel itself. The key to the latest physical theories center around the existence of a young woman who lives between space-time curves naturally. Meddling from all sides has made the girl's situation dangerous, and to save her, one brother must-for reasons only understandable in the small space where theoretical physics and Nagarjuna Buddhism meet-make the ultimate sacrifice. Or weasel out of it.

For Arty to miss a day of school, either he is very, very sick or a fairytale-character turf-war has begun in his backyard. So begins this particular Wednesday. First, Arty finds a sweaty, bearded ax-swinging warrior Dwarf scaring his dogs. Soon enough, Emma, Cry, and other middle-school friends also find fairy creatures-Elves, Spriggans, Pixies, and a hoped-for Dragon-crashing into their normal homework-doing, backpack-carrying, phone-charging schooldays. Why are these magical beings here? What should be done? Is that ax sharp? Can Pixies be given aspirin? Arty, with his friends-and spying jerks and questionable strangers with long names-follow the clues and try to find out, even as things turn dark and dangerous. The mythical beings take sides. The Gwyllion, that legendary Old Woman of the Mountains, has a sinister plan that will turn the neighborhood into a fantasy battleground. For more information visit DWARFSTORY.COM
