Jeff Victor visited our store Sunday, April 28, and signed his book for our customers. This book tells a complete story, but Top Shelf publisher Chris Staros was so enthusiastic about it, he signed Jeff for a sequel!

Jeff Victor's debut graphic novel is a captivating adventure for fans of Bone, Amulet, and 5 Worlds. 

From the publisher:

What if you found a genie's magic lamp, and rubbed it only to discover that YOU were the genie?

Avery McLean is just your normal ten-year-old tomboy, helping her dad run a tiny, run-down gas station in the middle of the desert. With no friends and no fun to be had, Avery has been teaching herself to do card tricks to entertain passing motorists, figuring that her lonely life could use a little magic. Little does she know how much magic is about to drop right in her lap!

By releasing the power hidden within a dusty old lamp, Avery and her new companion Gribblet are thrust into a stunning supernatural world, to discover her own power, save her family, and find answers to questions that will change her life forever.

A graphic novel aimed at readers age 9 - 12
