Famous Adventurers Correspondence School

17 year old Casper DeLorean is starting out 1989 in a rut. He's shunned at school, his family's barely on speaking terms, and the girl he adores barely notices him. Then, one morning, a strange package arrives at his door, inaugurating him into a curious world of magic, aliens, and high adventure. He and his geeky friends are drawn into a secret mail-order academy for would-be alchemists, inventors, and adventure-seekers from all over the world and from centuries past. Can they balance their everyday perils of teen life, of love, of school, of bullies and of role-playing nights, with the strange and sometimes dangerous demands of becoming the newest initiates into the Famous Adventurers Correspondence School?
