    About Aster and the Accidental Magic

    A fun, action-packed fantasy adventure about a girl, her dog, and magic gone wrong!

    Quiet . . . birds . . . nature. . . .

    That’s what Aster expects when her parents move their whole family to the middle of nowhere. It’s just her (status: super-bored), her mom and dad (status: busy with science), her brother (status: has other plans), and . . .

    . . . magic?

    In her new home, Aster meets a mysterious old woman with a herd of dogs who gives her a canine companion of her own. But when she and her dog Buzz are adventuring in the forest, they run into a trickster spirit who gives Aster three wishes. After wishing for the ability to understand and talk to her dog, she becomes only able to talk in dog language . . . and the trouble she gets into is just starting.

    Maybe the middle of nowhere will be more interesting than Aster thought.

    “Crisp, vibrant artwork.” –The AV Club
