Miss Ellicott's School for the Magically Minded by Sage Blackwood

Miss Ellicott's School for the Magically Minded by Sage Blackwood

From the author of the acclaimed Jinx trilogy comes a spellbinding fantasy, perfect for fans of the School for Good and Evil series, about a young heroine fighting to save a world that would dare to tame her.

Chantel would much rather focus on her magic than on curtsying, which is why she often finds herself in trouble at Miss Ellicott's School for Magical Maidens. But when Miss Ellicott mysteriously disappears along with all the other sorceresses in the city, Chantel's behavior becomes the least of her problems.

Without any magic protecting the city, it is up to Chantel and her friends to save the Kingdom. On a dangerous mission, Chantel will discover a crossbow-wielding boy, a dragon, and a new, fiery magic that burns inside her--but can she find the sorceresses and transform Lightning Pass into the city it was meant to be?

Sage Blackwood was born in Chicago and raised in the state of New York. She holds degrees from Antioch College and the University of Albany, and has worked as an ESL teacher for many years. President Barack Obama bought her debut fantasy novel, Jinx, which was named a Best Novel of the Year by Kirkus Reviews, ALA Booklist, School Library Journal, and Amazon.com.
