Young, J. Steven. Hashtag magic #bk. 1

Hashtag Magic is an Urban Fantasy about Colby Stevens, an introverted and bullied boy who wants to find his missing father. He discovers he has magic that he can only control with the use of a mobile APP he creates, except when emotionally stressed until he learns to face his bully and emotional baggage. Colby Stevens was only six when his magic was hobbled, though he had no idea he always pretended he was a magical being. The imagination of a child can never be contained. When he turned sixteen however, all the memories he had from his early childhood began to make sense. He got his magic back and in a way he never imagined magic could be real. He couldn't control magic, he couldn't understand magic, but he could create a special mobile APP to help him perform magic. While Colby explores his new abilities with the strange little blue man who assigns himself teacher and guide, an old war begins anew. Magic came to this Earth before man recorded his history, and the bringers of that magic want nothing more than to regain access to it, by whatever means necessary. Together Colby and his friends are beginning the exploration of a lifetime. They are rediscovering a magic that has been waiting for eons to be released. But the magic is not the only thing that has been waiting. Colby begins to learn about his family line and the twisted history that has thrust him into the center of a battle born of hatred and ignorance, something he knows all too well. He will fight the power, fight the bullies, and most of all...fight himself
