Hieronymus Jones and the Teacup Squid

What does one do when a small cephalopod decides to make a nest in your cup of tea?
Hieronymus Jones is a peculiar boy with a spectacular mind. Extraordinarily intelligent, he has secrets, dark and deadly, wonderful and pure. Secrets of hidden worlds and lost civilizations, ones that were not entirely human. Secrets of magic.
When Hieronymus sees Gertrude Green for the first time, something tells him that she has secrets too. Together, they discover a connection, one that extends far deeper than either could have imagined. A connection that just might save the world.
Tea-dwelling squids, mysterious pendants, and school bullies are one thing. However, when an army of maliciously malformed unpleasantness threatens to tear the two young friends apart, it's clear the universe is against Hieronymus and Gertrude simply hiding away in the belltower to share their lunch in peace. Will they overcome all the obstacles in their way?
