Author Description

Who knew that being less than special could make Violet Greene so extraordinary? Banished to Hempstead Academy for her total lack of natural magic, Violet Greene figures life as she knows it is over. She soon discovers that there's more for her at this Academy for Losers than vocational classes. Like totally cool new friends, the cutest boy she's ever met and an unexpected talent with lawnmower engines-as well as a chance to use the art of prestidigitation at the county spelling bee. Life would be perfect if only she didn't have to thwart a nosy guidance counselor, survive her classes without maiming anyone, and figure out how to ace a report on the most boring book ever.
