When he mysteriously goes missing his little sister 13-year-old Amari Peters cant understand why its not a bigger deal. Why isnt his story all over the news? And why do the police automatically assume he was into something illegal? Then Amari discovers a ticking briefcase in her brothers old closet. A briefcase meant for her eyes only. There was far more to Quinton it seems than she ever knew. Hes left her a nomination for a summer tryout at the secretive Bureau of Supernatural Affairs. Amari is certain the answer to finding out what happened to him lies somewhere inside if only she can get her head around the idea of mermaids dwarves yetis and magicians all being real things something she has to instantly confront when she is given a weredragon as a roommate. Amari must compete against some of the nations wealthiest kidswhove known about the supernatural world their whole lives and are able to easily answer questions like which two Great Beasts reside in the Atlantic Ocean and how old is Merlin? Just getting around the Bureau is a lesson alone for Amari with signs like Department of Hidden Places this way or is it? If that all wasnt enough every Bureau trainee has a talent enhanced to supernatural levels to help them do their jobs  but Amari is given an illegal ability. As if she needed something else to make her stand out. With an evil magican threatening the whole supernatural world and her own classmates thinking she is an enemy Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesnt pass the three tryouts she may never find out what happened to Quinton.
