The Sprite in the Sapphire (ebook)

When he discovers a star sapphire with a magical sprite inside, it brings him back to his stories and their power to shape the world around him.

With the help of unlikely friends and his faithful dog, Marco must return the sprite to its home - and find his place in the world.
