She once attempted a disappearing spell that made her wand disappear. She turned her mum’s cat florescent pink and her first broom-flight ended when she crashed through her neighbour’s garden fence. Join Maisey on her adventures through sorcery school as she meets lots of eccentric and hilarious characters and learns to embrace her magical mishaps.
