Search for the Red Wizard (Blue Wizard's Quest) (Volume 1)

When my friends and I walked onto the back porch, we walk we weren't in Kansas anymore. No one had any idea what had happened to us as we traveled through the cosmos and woke up chilled and confused. It was then we saw a small man climb into a hollow tree. PJ yelled, "We need help." He didn't respond. Eve walked toward him and asked, "Hello. Do you know where we are?" The man screamed, jumped down from the tree. and ran away as if he feared being attacked. We knew then, we weren't in Kansas anymore. At that moment, I wished we all were back in Kansas. it was highly unlikely we were going back soon. Ana suggested we look into the tree. Instead of studying our surroundings, we felt the tree was the most interesting. Shortly I found an old magic book. It was powerful. In fact, I became a wizard that day. My friends each received a talent and skill and we were all grateful for that and my refrigerator. It seemed to be holding its own temperature and would prove to be our savior. What a way to start a new day, in a new world.
