In the good old days, magic was indispensable&;it could both save a kingdom and clear a clogged drain. But now magic is fading: drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and magic carpets are used for pizza delivery. Fifteen-year-old foundling Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for magicians&;but it&;s hard to stay in business when magic is drying up. And then the visions start, predicting the death of the world&;s last dragon at the hands of an unnamed Dragonslayer. If the visions are true, everything will change for Kazam&;and for Jennifer. Because something is coming. Something known as . . . Big Magic.
