[edit] Overview/Storyline
Cassy, Vern & Gus are three gifted students who go to an enchanted school where they learn about magic and how to use it. One day they receive a strange talking book in the mail. The book says his name is UBOS (Ultimate Book of Spells) and together they must journey to the center of the Earth to stop Zarlak. Zarlak is a powerful wizard who is stealing all of Earth's magic so he can ultimately escape his prison, at the center of the earth, where he has been banished for many years. This begins a journey of a lifetime for the three students - one they will never forget.

[edit] UBOS and Harry Potter
Many similarities have been noted between UBOS and the successful Harry Potter series of books and movies, including the basic premise (a young boy discovers he has magical powers and learns to use them at a school for wizards), the main characters (three friends - two male, one female), and their quest (to defeat a dark wizard - in the case of Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, or in the case of UBOS, Zarlak), and storyline details (the UBOS talking book, for example, can be compared to Tom Riddle's diary in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets). One difference is that in Harry potter the creatures aren't all equal, Elves are citizens in UBOS but they are servants in Harry Potter
