★It’s Harry Potter Meets X-Men★She thought her superpower was useless… Ava was thrilled to get accepted into the elite academy in Australia. A school for the most powerful shifters worldwide. But why did they let her in? She shifts into… ...a tabby cat. Yup. She also learns one very important detail about her new school… Animage Academy is ruled by cliques. To say the least, Ava doesn’t belong in any of them, and if that wasn’t enough, her new roommate is awful. She’s starting to wonder how she even got accepted to the academy in the first place. The shifter school is known for producing the best exotic predators—dragons, sharks, lions, tigers, and bears—oh my! As well as Australia's finest native pandas, koalas, kangaroos, wombats—who may look cute and cuddly but have deadly skills. Though, it turns out, Ava isn’t the only new exchange student there who shifts into an embarrassing animal. There are bunny shifters everywhere, as well as llamas, sheep, a hummingbird, and even… ...a pug shifter. Why the heck are they all there now? But when she makes a couple of new friends—who have shifting problems of their own—things start to turn around, and she feels more and more at home. As the year goes on, Ava must look inside herself for her true strength and power. It’s only then that a secret is revealed… And it will change the way Ava sees herself forever. Will she finally find her place in this elite shifter society?

Animage Academy Year Three

The Elemental Trials

2021

There’s a brand-new school for shifters… …and it’s rivaling Animage Academy for prestige. The new school wants Ava, and she visits out of curiosity, but ultimately decides to stay put. But some students are leaving for the newer, slicker shifter school… And it’s tearing the academy apart. The new school is recruiting all the most exotic and powerful shifters, and it’s putting a major damper on morale at the academy. Especially since the multi-school skills challenge is coming up… How will Animage Academy compete without its top students? Ava, her friends, and her rivals, grudgingly unite so they can make a strong showing at the competition. But that doesn’t mean there’s not still drama—and secrets—at the school. Tarun has been acting especially strange and no one can figure out why, but it’s clear he’s hiding something that’s tearing him apart. Will the students pull it together so they can compete in top form? Or will they suffer a humiliating defeat? Animage Academy Year Three is a young adult academy urban fantasy for people who love the thrill of competition, a test of relationships and coming together for something bigger than oneself.
