Eleven-year-old Hallie is more thrilled than you might think to be shipping off to boarding school. After seeing how horrible "normal" kids can be--kids like her former BFF, Kendall Scott--Hallie figures The Dowling Academy School of Witchcraft will be a welcome fresh start. Plus, it's a chance to make her dad proud that she's continuing family traditions and becoming the best kind of witch, just like her legendary great-great-grandmother.

But when Hallie arrives at Dowling, she's dismayed to discover her roommate will be none other than awful Kendall. And when Hallie's witching talents take a turn for the dark side, she must determine whether it's abilities or choices that distinguish the good from the wicked.
