The first novella-length Wizard Academies book relates fascinating tales of magickally-gifted kids at a school that isn't quite right ...
Some wizard schools are highly-accredited and well-respected. Others are smaller but serve elite clientele with high academic standards. By way of contrast, Gallimaufriars Academy in Cumbria barely meets Ministry of Wizardry criteria.

Corwyn Daniels faces problems a bit more challenging than most wizardlings encounter:

* How do you catch a Black Dragon?
* What's a Pestheckler?
* Where did the school's prized Sand Djinn Dervish go?
* Why is Gwynn ap Nudd hunting Misty Callaghan?
* How do I cast a spell when the Wild Hunt's after me?

Corwyn really has his work cut out for him. You'll delight in the magickal misadventures of a boy from the LEAST influential Wizard Academy in Britain -- run by professors that other schools refer to as ""a bunch of rumpots, crackpots, and pooka-mazed halfwits ...""
