Meet Beth, young, hopeful, and a staunch believer in all things magical-made easier by the fact that she owns a talking pink tortoise and a hyperactive pen.
Meet her creative writing professor, Mr Sedriane, who refuses to allow his students to write anything fantastical.
But maybe today, for this assignment, Beth might write from the heart. Something she loves. Something she believes in.
No matter what the punishment. No matter what the price.
A story for everyone who still believes in something more-and everyone who refuses to give up on the truth.
