Oliver is a 10-yr-old boy who enjoys pulling the wings off flies just to hear the little snap. His life takes a turn, though, when his mom moves the family to a run-down old house in a small town. Their house seems to be guarded by the creatures from the nearby pond who don't want Oliver and his family living there. One day Oliver falls through the roof and into the attic, where he finds a strange gem that has the power to turn him into any creature he touches.

Ages 8-12.
