"The Seer" is the hottest game on the market and no one loves playing it more than the Flynn-Fletcher brothers and their best friends. But when a mysterious stone Phineas finds one day after a playing session with Isabella transports the gang to the real Cantoria, location of the game, they find that it's a whole lot less fun when the quest is for real. As faithful friends face off against foul foes, the Summer Vacation Gang just might discover the true importance of the question "Do you believe in Real Magic?"
