Publisher's Synopsis
Welcome to Kingsbridge Academy, a school for young wizards and wizardesses, just one of a network of Magick schools around the world. Here, the students face the same challenges as any young person. Who will win the Pelgwyddon match? When will that cute boy ask me out? Will a hideous monster jump out of my text book and try to eat me? How many times can one get detention cleaning out the Gryphon cage? Penny Miller, a Second Year, has her hands full. Her classes are harder this year, and she can barely keep up with her homework. Then she has to keep bullies like Ursula DeWinter, who has it in for Penny's best friend, at bay. She doesn't have time to figure out why spells are suddenly going completely bonkers, or what's up with the new student, or why Jack is being so weird whenever he sees her. And why is she being blamed for doing something she couldn't possibly have done? Unless she can be in two places at once. Can she? Suddenly she's losing friends faster than a Phoenix loses feathers. It's going to be a long year. Two short stories, previously seen in Wizard Academies anthologies, have been combined into this single volume for one enjoyable read.
