Devo Mannix is an understudy to his grandfather, a world-renowned sorcerer and magician. In the course of his training, Devo has inherited a magical steamer trunk and a magical 1925 Rolls Royce Phaeton 1. Devo encounters two spirits in his quest to train as an archaeologist. One of the spirits resided in the ruins of the Cromwell house, which had burned down twenty years ago, some ten years before Devo was born. Three people who are thought to be guilty of setting the house on fire become trapped in one of the bedrooms and are unable to leave. Unraveling the mystery and releasing those held prisoners are exciting adventures that only Devo can unravel. The second spirit that Devo encounters is accidentally acquired when he does some archaeological excavating in Yucatn while on a mission to recover his friend Julies necklace. This spirit is held captive in a clay figurine and has been a prisoner for some 1,500 years. Devo is anxious to release the Mayan spirit from his clay imprisonment; however, the spirit promises to seek revenge on the descendants of the family that caused his imprisonment. Devos attempt to reach an agreement with the spirit to avoid the suffering that might be caused by his release is hampered by the spirits unwillingness to agree with Devos demands. Join Devo and his friends encounter the spirits and overcome the obstacles that are laid before them.

Devo Mannix, a young boy, becomes frightened in a thunderstorm and uses his grandfather’s Book of Magic and Incantations to make his dog, Speeler, speak and understand his language. He sneaks into the den of his grandfather, who is a world-renowned sorcerer and magician, in hopes of using his secret Book of Magic and Incantations to make his dog speak. With the recently obtained power of speech and understanding, the dog entangles himself in a web of unfortunate incidents that are attributed to his owner. In an attempt to undo his magical spells and correct all of the unfortunate events that have occurred, Devo looks for ways to undo the problems caused by his impulsive actions. The mayhem continues as Devo decides he would like to go fishing in the neighbor’s pond. Devo seeks advice on fishing from his dog who believes he truly knows everything about fishing after watching one TV episode of Fishing with Fred Wilson. Trying to ensure that there will be fish in the pond, the boy again uses his grandfather’s Book of Magic and Incantations to cast a spell to stock the pond. Sadly, the incantations the young boy cast were not what were intended. Undoing the spells with the help of his dog becomes a disaster. This chain of events sets off a ripple effect that challenges Devo’s imagination in solving this and other exciting magical adventures.
