About This Book
The crackle of magic fills the air, mingling with the scent of autumn leaves and the crisp chill of a new school year. Prudence steps onto the cheering squad, her heart pounding as she hides her mortal ways from the other witches. But when the irresistible Angelo next door appears, her carefully cast spells start to unravel in the most surprising way.
