A middle grade magic school fantasy perfect for fans of The School for Good and Evil and
Witchlings in which a girl with unparalleled power must work with her misfit classmates to
save her new school. Lavinia “Vin” Lucas is out of control and out of options. Stranded by
parents who would rather use their average magical abilities to study dung beetles than raise
her Vin's been on her own for years. But she’s never been able to corral her own powerful
unpredictable magic. After years of detention suspension and expulsion from magic schools far
and wide she’s now being sent to the Last Hope School for Magical Delinquents. If she gets
expelled it’s the end of the line. Now Vin is determined to behave. Except no one at Last
Hope seems to want her to. Her new teachers—particularly the school’s kind headmistress—push
her to explore her magic and her mischievous classmates delight in every accident. And all the
while a mysterious fire sprite a suspicious instructor and her overwhelming abilities might
just sabotage Vin. But for the first time she is not alone. So when a former student begins
attacking the school Vin must question just how much she knows about the headmistress and her
new home. Is this place worth saving? And are her budding abilities—and every trick trap and
deception in her friends’ delinquent arsenal—enough to protect Last Hope?
