Synopsis

Featuring a failed young wizard and her cleanup crew, this delightfully dysfunctional middle grade fantasy is an imaginative twist on magic school that’s perfect for fans of Nevermoor and The School for Good and Evil.

Cara Moone is a wizard—but she’s basically flunked out of wizard school. Now she’s in training to be a MOP, also known as Magical Occurrence Purger, also known as it’s Cara’s job to sweep up the hazardous dust a real wizard’s spells leave behind.

A real wizard, that is, like Harlee Wu, the so-called Chosen One destined to save the magical world. But when one of Harlee’s spells goes awry and leaves behind a rift in the fabric of magic itself, it'll take more than magic to clean up the mess.

Luckily, messes are kind of Cara’s thing.

Magic is messy—and fantastically fun—in this underdog story packed with humor, adventure, and attitude.

For Cara Moone, saving the world means grabbing a broom.

• The Chosen One vs. The Janitor: Harlee Wu is destined to save the world with powerful spells. Cara Moone is destined to clean up the mess with a broom.
• A New Twist on Magic School: At Dragonsong Academy, magic is powerful, dangerous… and seriously messy. Someone has to sweep up the leftover spell dust before it goes feral.
• An Unlikely Underdog Hero: Cara may have flunked out of regular wizard training, but when a magical disaster is too big for the top students to handle, her talent for messes might be the only thing that can save the day.
• Laugh-Out-Loud Fantasy Adventure: With witty humor and a cast of magical misfits, this story is a must-read for fans of imaginative fantasy like Nevermoor and The School for Good and Evil.
