Ever since Lisa Robbie became the Agapéd Bearer last year, she has dreamed of becoming a Hero - a mighty Mage who uses her magic to save the galaxies and slay Darkness. But after she returns to Boolavogue to continue her training with Gaius and the Hunters, she begins to doubt if she is even worthy of such a grand title after a real Hero visits the Kingdom. After all, Heroes are always confident, rippled with muscles, and gallant with smiles even in the face of fear. They especially don't have nightmares on a weekly basis or fear talking with their own peers right?

Lisa Robbie, a freckled, soon-to-be-eighth-grade girl from Keyport, New Jersey, happens upon a shooting star that isn’t merely space debris but is magic—the Agapéd Magic. This leads her to a whole new way of life where she learns she has the most powerful magic in all four galaxies, a power that the Guardians have waited 120 years for... and they are not too thrilled about it.

This unique audiobook is about the recognition, understanding, and pursuit of truth by a critique of its opposites in seven forms of lying, cheating, denial, delusion, deception, pretension, and withholding. The message is framed metaphorically by describing a central Texas town near where I live, "Realville". Our trip here to Realville allows us to see a kaleidoscopic view of how to achieve truthfulness as we move along the four streets surrounding the central courthouse square: Integrity Boulevard, Face It Street, Openness Way, and Aw-shucks Road.
