Her plan is to be the custodial apprentice to her Uncle Potluck, and avoid awkward fifth grade situations.

The Wizard of Dark Street by Shawn Odyssey - Oona has natural magic, a magic so rare it come along every one hundred years, but she wants to be a detective. She is forced to solve an important case when her uncle is attacked, and she must delve into the realm of magic.

Scary School by Derek the Ghost by Scott Fischer - Derek attends Scary School and died when one of the science experiments went terribly wrong, and now is hanging around the school as a ghost, and doing some ghostwriting.

Come enjoy the school year at Scary School!

Nicholas St. North and the Battle of the Nightmare King by William Joyce - In the forests of Eastern Siberia lives the last survivor from Atlantis, a wizard of extraordinary powers and imagination.
