At nine years old, Joey is way too grown-up for make-believe. But when he agrees to participate one last time in a pretend adventure cooked up by his oddball dad, he stumbles across a mysterious artifact that pits him against an unscrupulous foe... High adventure, epic quest, or love story, this is the tale of Joey (who's in the fourth grade after all and still struggles with reading), his father Ethan-il-Fabuloso (a practitioner of sleight-of-hand who can’t hold a steady job), and best friend Gloria (who's good at absolutely everything). The nine-year-old point-of-view animates everyday life with the magic and wonder it always deserved in Robbie Scott's latest, "The Queen's Sceptre", as three friends take on the ambitious Professor, in a lightning-fueled battle of wits for control of the mysterious "energy of the heavens" – and who knows, perhaps pick up a little wisdom along the way about life, loss, and what really matters.
