  "I'm a Harry Potter fanatic. This was a wonderful book! Fell in love with the characters...I laughed and cried. I was hooked." -Amazon Review 
  All Goff wanted was for his essay on witchcraft to be good enough to win a scholarship to a private academy far away from Spraksville, the miserable, spooky little town he is stuck in. But, if he’d known that Spraksville’s history of witchcraft was more than just folklore, he never would have experimented with casting a spell in the cemetery at midnight as research to make the essay great. He ends up transformed into a wizard and becomes the mortal enemy of the most powerful dark wizard in centuries. Now it's up to Goff to stop him from performing an ancient ritual that will destroy the town and make this Halloween night the last night of freedom the world ever knows. 
  Written for young readers of all ages, Misfit's Magic is a spooky, action-packed, feel-good book that children, adults, and entire families enjoy any time of year as a "...a gorgeous treat to fans of urban fantasy." - The Book Commentary. 
  “...you won’t put this book down...” A. Reynolds, Readers' Favorite

  For fans of Kate DiCamillo and Jack Gantos, a hilarious, wrenching, hopeful novel about finding your friends, healing your heart, and speaking your truth. Simon O'Keeffe's biggest claim to fame should be the time his dad accidentally gave a squirrel a holy sacrament. Or maybe the alpaca disaster that went viral on YouTube. But the story the whole world wants to tell about Simon is the one he'd do anything to forget: the story in which he's the only kid in his class who survived a school shooting. Two years after the infamous event, twelve-year-old Simon and his family move to the National Quiet Zone—the only place in America where the internet is banned. Instead of talking about Simon, the astronomers who flock to the area are busy listening for signs of life in space. And when Simon makes a friend who's determined to give the scientists what they're looking for, he'll finally have the chance to spin a new story for the world to tell. From award-winning author Erin Bow, Simon Sort of Says is a breathtaking testament to the lasting echoes of trauma, the redemptive power of humor, and the courage it takes to move forward without forgetting the past.
