Sang Spell is about a boy named Josh, his mom died in a car accident and he has to live with his Aunt who lives in Dallas, Texas. So instead of flying there he decides to hitch hike there from Boston, Massachusetts. He thinks he can blow off some steam this way. He really doesn’t like the idea of moving to go live with his Aunt in Texas and the changes this will bring in his life.

As Josh goes along on his journey, he meets a man willing to bring him to Dallas. Josh accepts the mans offer, but instead of going to Dallas, the man purposely drives the wrong way. The man then tells Josh he must pay for the ride even though he went the wrong way, Josh refuses to pay and started to walk again in the middle of nowhere. The driver then jumps him and takes his shoes, over $200 and his expensive watch, leaving him there to die until a woman with a horse and carriage finds him and takes him to a strange farm town with no electricity or telephones.

He stays for a couple of days because of his terrible conditions from being jumped by that driver. He tries to leave the town a couple of times but for some odd reason he seems to end up back in the town? So he decides to stay for a little while to find out more about the town. He then meets Mavis, who teaches him the history of the town, its called Canora. She doesn’t know much about the strange force that sends you back but there’s definitely something? Then he meets Kasper, another Melungeon like Josh himself hates being trapped in Canora. A Melungeon is a person who accidentally comes into Canora and gets stuck, an outsider.

Josh then finds out that Isabel, an elder in Canora, has cursed the town. Josh is annoyed with the curse and wants to find out how to leave. Kasper notices this and offers to lead the expedition, no matter what the cost is. Kasper then asks Josh if he wants to join him in killing Isabel, which will lift the curse and make the town and its people disappear. Josh tells the towns people and they threaten to stone him, but instead they him into the school house which reappears as a different building every equinox and solstice. On the first day of the autumn equinox so the school house started to disappear. The town’s people heard wild banging on the door and then a shriek of terror as the building was gone. Pardo told Josh that last time someone stepped in it and got locked in on the first day of the equinox, the next year he came back as a pile of bones.

A couple of nights later, Josh started to hear a strange voice in his head. The voice said he could leave, so he packed up his stuff. He started to leave when Mavis told him that she loved him and wanted to know if she could come too? So they started to leave but Mavis runs back to town thinking about her mother. Josh and Mavis say their final good byes once and for all.

Josh gets on the interstate which leads him to his Aunt’s home in Dallas.
