Seventeen-year-old Johnny is approached at his family's struggling shoe repair shop in a Miami, Florida, hotel by Alorian Princess Victoriana, who asks him to find her brother who was turned into a frog. He's not your average hero - actually he wasn't your average anything - just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all. It all started with the curse. And the frognapping. And the good-looking princess, who asked him to lead a rescue mission. There was't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though he fell in love along the way, what happened to him is unlike any fairy tale you've ever heard. He was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades. Don't believe it? He didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because he knew it all was true, the second he got CLOAKED.
