Arin Edie Cogswell has never heard a sound in her life - in all her twelve years, five months, and six days. She's never heard the birds chirping, never heard the sound of the ocean waves. She's never even heard her own voice. Her parents try to help, but really, they don't understand her. Therefore, without sounds, Arin Edie makes use with art. Art is her refuge, art is pretty much the only thing she thinks she's good at. So when Mrs. Sapir, a friendly neighbor, enters one of Arin Edie's artwork into a contest and she wins, Arin Edie's happy. But just when things start to perk up a bit, someone has to ruin it. And, well, sometimes there are just those obstacles in life that you need a little help overcoming.
Ron Green, a normal twelve year old with an annoying six year old sister and overprotective parents. Normal? Hah, who am I kidding? Actually, Ron has just discovered his power to make apples disappear. At first, he is fascinated with his power. But then one day he reveals too much to his friend, who turns out to be on the other side, and an evil sorcerer learns about him. The only way Ron can save his life is by finding the hidden spell which will remove his power and the whole mess that has come out of it. But this will require sacrifice....will Ron be willing?
