"The concept of musicraft—producing magic by playing music—feels fresh and is undeniably appealing, and who is going to say no to a trip to another magical boarding school? ...full of heart, clever plotting, and strong world building that young readers, musicians and otherwise, will enjoy escaping to." — Booklist
"A toe-tapping fantasy novel mixes music and mystery." —Kirkus Reviews
"For fans of Harry Potter who don’t want to stray too far from Hogwarts but are in need of new adventures." — School Library Journal

So when Amelia botches her audition, she thinks her dream has met an abrupt and humiliating end—until the school agrees to give her a trial period. Amelia is determined to prove herself, vowing to do whatever it takes to become the perfect musician. Even if it means pretending to be someone she isn’t.
Meanwhile, a mysterious storm is brewing that no one, not even the maestros at Mystwick, is prepared to contain. Can Amelia find the courage to be true to herself in time to save her beloved school from certain destruction?
