Magic Markers

After escaping school bullies, ten-year-old Jack meets the enigmatic Mr. Penhaligan, who gifts him a set of magical markers. To Jack’s amazement, whatever he draws comes to life. Longing for support and belonging, Jack creates Andy – a brave older brother who protects him and helps him face the world. With Andy by his side, Jack’s confidence grows. But when the magic begins to fade and his creations vanish, Jack must confront the painful truth that Andy can’t stay forever. Urged by memory and Andy’s parting words, Jack stands up to his bullies alone, discovering the strength he thought only magic could give him. Soon after, Jack learns he’s about to become a real big brother and finds himself ready to embrace the future with courage, move forward and let go. Magic Markers is a poignant, magical coming-of-age tale about imagination, grief, and the quiet bravery of finding strength within.
