Arriving at his destination, the boy is immediately accosted by a bright-eyed old man with a mysterious message: â€œThe wolves are running.â€ Soon danger is everywhere, as a gang of criminals headed by the notorious wizard Abner Brown and his witch wife Sylvia Daisy Pouncer gets to work. What does Abner Brown want? The magic box that the old man has entrusted to Kay, which allows him to travel freely not only in space but in time, too.
