Description
Summary:ZuZu has always been curious about the old Mapleton Mansion. She's heard it's haunted. On a school visit, she finally gets to see inside the historic building for herself. There, ZuZu and her classmate Andrew discover some unusual art supplies that they smuggle home. When they use the supplies to make drawings and paintings, their artwork magically comes to life! Their search for an explanation leads them to Martha, the kindly spirit of a lady who once lived in the mansion. From her, ZuZu and Andrew learn about "creative magics" and the beings they can form. But ZuZu and Andrew aren't the only ones using creative magics. Soon, nightmarish creatures begin appearing around town. And their creator, another spirit of the Mapleton Mansion, does not intend to use his powers for good. With a battle looming between opposing magical forces, it's up to ZuZu and Andrew to protect their town.
