Three friends discover magic and
mayhem around every corner of their school in this brand-new illustrated series
from New Yorker cartoonist and NAACP Image Award nominee Liz
Montague that’s perfect for fans of Witchlings and The
Wizards of Waverly Place.
Welcome to the Brooklyn School of
Magic, where seeds of enchantment are planted and magic sprouts in every
corner. And where each fall, fifth years must pass the Equinox Test if they
want to move up to Middle Magic.
Rose is worried. She’s never been the
best student. And if she doesn’t pass with flying colors, Principal Ivy says
she may have to transfer to a boring, non-magical school. Amethyst knows she’s
got the skills to ace the test. But to really impress her mom, she’s got her
eye on the school’s top prize. Lavender just wants to fit in. Even after a few
years in the States, he still feels homesick. All. The. Time. Passing the test
might just be his ticket back to the island.
But with best friend battles, a
cheating scandal, and trouble brewing in the magical community, the Equinox
Test may not even be the biggest challenge these Magic Bearers will face this
year…
