 Reviews:

"...the magic of Bohnhoff's writing grabbed me (as well as her rich tapestry of story and theme), and wouldn't let me go. This woman can write." —  Linda Irvine

"I truly enjoyed this tale for it's inventiveness and magic." — Laura Power

"Set in Philadelphia in the 1950's, the book explores religious and personal transition within one family as the children search for their identities. The characters are memorable and there are sparks of dry humor throughout that will have you laughing out loud." — Andrea Love

Visit a future San Francisco in which Golden Gate Park and the Presidio are thriving farms, luxury hotels are the palaces of neighborhood kings and book shops are treasuries of wisdom. This is the world of Taco Del, Merlin to His Majesty, King of Embarcadero. In this world, the young wizard must unravel a great mystery to save his beseiged kingdom. King Elvis wants to steal its secrets, mysterious outsiders want to expel its citizens, an ancient and sinister Force threatens spiritual domination. Salvation rests on the slender shoulders of Taco Del and his unlikely allies—a red-haired Chinese girl, a ghosty tribe of Mission Indians and a small fir tree named Doug.

The novel is based on the novella of the same name published in Amazing Stories. My agent loved the characters and story so much he asked if I'd be open to writing a novel about them. Would I? He had to ask?
