How do you pen your own destiny when you're destined to control a magical pen? Arnie Schmidt is an unremarkable seventeen-year-old nerd who works at his uncle's accounting firm. Nothing exciting happens to him. Ever. The most exhilarating experience he had was sharing an elevator with his office crush once. It was a pleasure never to be repeated! When his high school bully gets a job in the mail room and starts to make moves on Arnie's dream girl, Arnie thinks his dull existence is over. However, a chance encounter at a yard sale changes his boring life forever. An endless array of peculiar circumstances emerge, transforming Arnie's average existence into one more extraordinary. One moment, he's planning the epitaph on his tombstone, the next he's trying to keep a vintage relic from sending him to an early grave and upsetting the entire balance of the universe. What's a timid number cruncher to do? Can Arnie protect his newfound treasure before it's lost or stolen? Only time-and the unparalleled power of an enchanted fountain pen-will tell!
