Ali was the youngest of seven brothers; each one bigger, stronger and smarter than him. He had no special talents and was perpetually getting in the way. People were always telling him to wake up, move faster, and stop lagging behind. He tried to keep up, but never quite got there. He had a habit of daydreaming that got him into trouble more times than he could count. No matter how hard he tried, all he seemed to do was fall short.
Ali thought if he could just find something he was good at, he would finally fit in. After a troop of gypsies arrives in his town to perform a magic show, Ali dreams of becoming a great magician. This sets him on a quest to find the origin of the light that comes from the sky, leading him to a nearby village where he is befriended by a girl who introduces him to the medicine man.
This is where AliÕs journey begins. It will take many turns, before ultimately bringing him to a place of unexpected danger and surprising revelations.
