When nine-year-old Tommy Barnes uncovers a magic pen hidden among old school supplies, he is thrust into an artistic adventure. Not only can the pen draw marvelous pictures, it can think and talk. The two become best friends. At first Tommy is able to keep his magical friend Peter a secret, but a careless oversight leads to Peter’s discovery, first by his parents, then by his teacher, and eventually by the entire school. Tension reaches it’s peak when Peter reveals to Tommy that he is running out of ink and can only draw one more picture. After one final picture, Tommy will have to draw pictures on his own, using his own hidden talent – his inner “spark.” Will he be able to do it?
