Hex Allen can't do magic - a huge problem when everything from lights to locks is powered by simple spells that everyone can do.

With the Clanksmiths' know-how and Hex's creativity, they outsmart monsters with everything from LEDs to electromagnets to water balloon launchers. But as they race to the Wishing Wyrm, Hex must decide between her friendship with the Clanksmiths and the wish that would give her a normal, magical life. ​
