Xander buys a pen that gives him the power to improve his family’s fortunes, only to discover that power comes with its own problems.
Xander and the Pen is the story of a boy who loves to draw superheroes, and the pen he buys from a mysterious market stall.

At first the pen helps Xander improve his family’s fortunes, but there are many unintended consequences and soon everybody is angry at him.
Xander sees that the power of the pen has changed him into somebody his sister and his friends despise.

Or will he succumb to the temptation of an easy fix?
