Dewey - The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World
How much of an impact can an animal have? How many lives can one cat touch?

In a city that runs on a dwindling supply of magic, a young boy is drawn into a life of wizardry and adventure. Conn should have dropped dead the day he picked Nevery's pocket and touched the wizard's locus magicalicus, a stone used to focus magic and work spells.
