Amanda Coulier and her classmates are back at the Academy of Necessary Magic. Summer is over and sophomore year is kicking into high gear. Fewer rules means more freedom, but that can come with a price. Things are going missing from teachers’ offices and students are the prime suspects. Will Amanda be able to clear her friends? That’s not the only new twist this year. Did somebody flush their radioactive goldfish? A giant blue-fish-snake monster has been spotted in the swamp. Will Amanda rescue the strange creature or is it a dangerous weapon? A menace may be growing closer. Can the young shifter harness enough of her new-found magic to make a difference? Amanda’s not certain what’s going on, but she’s going to find out with the help of her friends.
