Booklist - 10/01/2024 Vin Lucas is a magical misfit whose uncontrollable outbursts have gotten her booted from one sorcery school after another. She is now—after a fiery fiasco–on her way to her final opportunity to get herself and her powers together at the Last Hope School for Magical Delinquents. Run by the uber-understanding but mysterious Headmistress Hope and peopled with an engaging group of highly magical students who are all at the end of their “educational opportunities,” Vin struggles to get a grip on herself and to learn who she can trust as someone tries to sabotage her (and her classmates’) last hope. Filled with fast-paced and engaging magical mayhem, Preto's novel also dives into ideas of trust and friendship that give the story a deeper meaning that will appeal to readers who feel misunderstood or left out. The perfect book (and new series) for middle-grade readers who love series like The School for Good and Evil and Harry Potter. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
