10yo Ava has shown a spark of magic, so off she goes to the West Oz Witch Academy - where her demonstration goes terribly wrong. Next thing she has been branded wicked and sent off to School for Wicked Witches! There she becomes so busy finding a way to escape, that she doesn’t notice that maybe the school isn’t so bad after all. She is busy in pursuit of a dream - whether it is in her best interest or not.
Forget any connection to Oz - enjoy Ava’s story for what it is - a good witchy story that hopefully will have a sequel. I forgot Ava was only ten until I was writing the review - I don’t think most students will notice either.
