When Jamie discovers his father and grandmother are actually trolls, he and foster kid Annie Nobody are whisked away to the magical village of Aurora. If they want to keep their happy-ever-after, they'll need to help their new friends save the town. Overblown elements (cartoonishly evil social worker and foster family; saccharine fantasy village) don't detract too much from the enjoyable magical adventure.
