The Charm Jude Boardman

On the beautiful Vashon Island in the Puget Sound, one young man discovers a special family legacy that could have terrible consequences for him and his closest friends.

Pitivo "Jack" Stoaka has always known that he and his family are special. After the mysterious death of his parents and sisters, Jack moved to the island to live with his grandmother Mami. His grandmother was the one who told him about his Romani heritage and the powers that come from The CHARM represented by a crystal he constantly wears. In addition to warning him about danger, the CHARM also allows him to manipulate time, temperature, and nature.

It is these powers that Jack's evil uncle Emilian so desperately wants. When Emilian shows up after Mami's death, Jack will have to protect and turn to friends both old and new for help in defeating the powerful threat. His newest ally is Lisse, a troubled teenager with powers of her own!

Jack has always feared that he would be rejected if he ever showed his friends the truth about his abilities, but he will have to put his trust in them to protect the island from Emilian's evil.
