Melvillecrash, The Book of Witchcraft

The Vacation in St. Alaince — Children’s book series

Melvillecrash, the book of witchcraft — The first book in the series

For Mickey Dobins, summer vacation in the sleepy town of St. Alaince promises only one horror: the relentless dread of returning to school and his archenemy—Mathematics. But when his eccentric friend Jack unearths a mysterious ancient tome, the “Melvillecrash,” an audacious plan takes root: they will summon and enslave Satan himself to gain supernatural powers… starting with Mickey's math skills.

What begins as a seemingly innocent childhood adventure quickly spirals into a darkly comedic odyssey. Armed with moonlit chants, bizarre ingredients (a candlestick, meadowsweet flowers, a white horse's horseshoe), and a dangerous lack of caution, Mickey and Jack plunge into the perilous world of witchcraft.

Their quest for demonic pacts is repeatedly (and hilariously) interrupted by very real, earthly troubles: a suspiciously watchful aunt, a nosy sister, and encounters with local “human devils”—notorious criminals whose sinister plots are accidentally uncovered by the boys' reckless rituals. As they battle bats, dodge bullets, and charm policemen with outrageous lies, Mickey finds himself an unwitting hero, gaining fame, fortune, and even mastering math… but their ultimate prize, Satan, remains tantalizingly out of reach.

Melvillecrash, the book of witchcraft is a laugh-out-loud tale where childish curiosity collides with dark magic and criminal underworlds. Will Mickey and Jack finally bind the Prince of Darkness, The Satan, or will their pursuit of supernatural powers lead them down the most absurd, thrilling, and unexpectedly heroic path imaginable?

Jack and Mickey are high school students. Jack is Mickey's uncle's son. Every vacation they get together, Jack comes up with some wacky plan. It all ends in problems eventually. This time when they got together at Jack's house in St. Alaince, a fictional place in America, Jack came up with a new plan. Satan Hunt, an attempt to enslave Satan through witchcraft and gain supernatural abilities. Mickey has no interest in it, but is tempted by Jack and agrees. So they travel to a deserted island in the river to cast spells. The Satan was waiting for them there..!
