The First Story: Creativity is real, and it's in trouble (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781088122341)

Matt and John live to write stories. After an attack by school bullies, those stories might be the only thing keeping John alive. At the side of John's hospital bed, Matt weaves together tales in the hopes of waking him from his coma before it's too late...

Storytelling itself comes to life in the world of Creativity. When unexpected changes cause chaos there, personified character archetypes known as Aspects must find the source before everything they know is lost. They suspect that someone has stolen the most powerful thing in all of Creativity: the First Story. But who is powerful enough to wield it?

Follow the Aspects as they journey through an ever-changing series of folktales, ghost-stories, tragedies, comedies, classic fantasy, and modern science fiction to piece the clues together. If the Aspects cannot trust in reality-or even their own memories-can they work together to find the thief and restore their world? And if they restore Creativity, will that save John in the real world?
