[0-399-23706-2]
Mercer's middle school has a fund raising project for a
homeless shelter.  He is very into a fantasy roleplay game
with wizards, etc. and convinces the school to have a
convention at the school to raise money.  It is a great idea
until an writer on the school paper writes an article
connecting it with devil worship and wizardry and the
article gets in the local town paper.  This on its own would
be a great story of a struggle in a school but once again
Lubar sneaks in some science fiction by having some wizards
from another world appear and appeal to Mercer for help.
This 166 page book is a fun read with two stories
intertwined.
