THE SCHOOL FOR WICKED WITCHES
A SPARKLING NEW TRILOGY HAS BEGUN!
THERE’S A SECRET PLACE AT THE HEART OF OZ WHERE ONLY THE WICKED CAN GO . . .
11-year-old Ava Heartstraw is nervous but excited to leave her desert home and begin training to become a powerful witch. But when the snooty teachers at West Oz Witch Academy misinterpret her magic, she finds herself a permanent prisoner of the terrible School for Wicked Witches.
Determined to prove herself good—no matter how many rules she has to break along the way—Ava and her new friends soon learn that their school is hiding some pretty serious secrets, and a daring escape from the School for Wicked Witches might be their only option . . . if their beginner magic and heart, brains, and courage are up to the task.
