Ava isn't ready to leave her home in Oz – especially
not to become a witch. Then the worst thing that could possibly
happen occurs – Ava's magic goes very wrong and she is
banished to a school for wicked witches. Perfect for fans of WICKED,
WITCHLINGS and THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL!
In Oz, most girls and boys with magical powers are sent from the
north, south, east and west to renowned witch academies, where
they are elevated and taught all the finer ways to be a responsible
witch. But if you misbehave? Or are thought to harbour darker
magic? You're sent to the equivalent of witch reform
school – The School for Wicked Witches.
ONLY! Once you get there, you find that the witches
running it are so powerful that they've managed to trick the rest
of the outside world. Yes, it looks to outside like they are taming
the wickedness out of the witches ... but in truth, the school
is run by wicked witches (who, incidentally, don't see
themselves as wicked at all ... although some of them really are.)
Ava Heartstraw has never even considered being wicked.
But when she goes to take her entrance test for a witch academy,
she doesn't get the reaction she's expecting – and is the
first kid in memory from the west to be sent to the School for Wicked
Witches.
A gripping, fun adventure with themes of magic, mystery and accepting
your true self
Perfect for fans of Wicked, Witchlings
and The School for Good and Evil
From the brilliant, award-winning author of The Language
of Seabirds, Will Taylor
