From the authors of the Bailey School Kids books, comes a new series that introduces readers to a new world that will have readers interested from page one. The border between our world and the magical world is weakening and the Queen of Boggarts is determined to take advantage of the problem and take over our world. The only thing that stands between her and her goal is Mr. Leery and a group of three young apprentices. With the help of their magical helps, apprentices, Peggy, Natalie, and Luke will fight against all odds to save their world and themselves.

The unique story line, well-done illustrations, and humor makes this series a must-read for reluctant and avid readers alike.
