Summer of the Nixen

Carl longs for more than is offered by his reality. His life-long friends, Turner and Kevin, share his feelings. In the waning days of a particularly listless summer, Carl hatches a plan to catch the eye of his dream girl, Diana Tift. The plan involves one of Kevins hobbies, translating books from ancient languages. His most recent acquisition is The Encyclopedia of All Knowledge. It professes to contain secrets long lost to mankind. One alleges a spell that yields the ability to stop time. Carl mistakenly believes Diana has an interest in magic and persuades his friends to attempt the spell. The three friends enlist Carls chronologically younger, but emotionally older, sister Brianna to be the fourth needed to carry out the incantation. Diana reluctantly agrees to attend the casting but brings her current jock boyfriend, Zachary. Casting the spell thrusts the six teens into a bizarre, comical, and exhilarating adventure that forever changes them. They learn their true strengths as well as their hidden weaknesses.LeCesne, Claude Peter is the author of 'Summer of the Nixen' with ISBN 9781591291190 and ISBN 1591291194.
