The Boy Witch

Willy Whicker would like nothing more than to fit in amongst his fellow witches at the Academy of Nowhere in Particular, but being the academy’s first ever boy Witch means boarding with an all-female cohort, some of whom aren’t particularly happy about him being there. And when Willy gets on the wrong side of Professor Penfold, she seems intent on trying to get rid of him. However, Professor Penfold isn’t the only threat to Willy’s future at the Academy; All first-year students, referred to as the Coven-less, are expected to rank high enough by the year’s end, before the academy’s three Covens face off in their bidding war, where they determine who among the Coven-less graduate on to their second year and who among the Coven-less do not. And if accumulating points during their many lessons on witchcraft wasn’t stressful enough, there’s also the weekly Witch duels between Covens, the bespelled corridors where the unpredictable Shadow Magic lurks, and an angry ogre that’s been rampaging through the forest of Dreams and Nightmares. But it’s only when Willy and his friends stumble across an old photograph in the academy’s library, and when Willy receives a mysterious grimoire for Christmas that they are put on a path of real danger and mystery, which forces Willy and his friends to make a decision on whether or not they are willing to risk their futures at the academy in order to find the answer to a single question: What really happened to Willy’s mother all those years ago.
