"There's no such thing as magic."

Or at least that’s what the mysterious stranger named Cassandra tells Bobby…

 

Unravel the mysteries

of The Academy, a secret monastery in Tibet for kids with extraordinary potential…

“The Academy” was originally a Buddhist monastery

Back before the change, the monks lived in almost complete isolation, interacting with the outside world only when necessary.

A spiritual fantasy

Empathic abilities, enhanced intuition, and power derived from within.

A mind-bending adventure

A foray into a super-charged spiritual world full of excitement and wonder.

"He walked on, content

to let whatever had triggered his subconscious float to the surface…Something about the forest’s song was off.”

 

"He stood amidst an enormous monastery

high atop a gray and treacherous mountain… sprawled across an expanse the size of a small city.”

“It is a form of collective meditation,”

“I connected our consciousness so that we could sense one another and work together.”

What follows is an amazing adventure – from indoor forests to vast archives, from a labyrinth of jade mines to the dark recesses of a bear’s lair. Along the way, Bobby will learn that, while there may be no such thing as magic, there is powerful energy within us all. In fact, the entire universe is connected by energy – and he has the rare ability to control it
