ENZO AND THE BATTLE AGAINST THE ONIS

Thomas van Luyn and Sophie Pluim

One day, Enzo receives a mysterious box in the mail. It’s made of a coppery metal and is about the size of a large eraser. When his cheeky friend Kira spins the little wheel for the first time, they discover that it’s actually some kind of zippo lighter, and it gives him a strange feeling.

It turns out that the lighter can send him to different rooftops in the city, which gets him into more trouble than he’d like. This is how he accidentally ends up in the house of his horrible teacher, Mr. Harry, and how he meets Ken, a boy standing on a roof with a cape, a stick and green rain boots.

Ken tells him that he’s hunting Onis—evil spirits that swoop into people’s houses and make them do bad things. Before Enzo knows it, he and his special lighter find themselves in a battle against the Onis. But how do you win a war against evil spirits when all you’ve got is a blanket for a cape and two friends who have no idea what they’re doing either?
