Boys. 7 of them, to be exact.
Megan is used to moving from place to place -- it's typical for an
army brat. But she drew the line at South Korea. She insists on
staying in the States to finish her last two years of high school.
So her parents made arrangements for Megan to live with their
friends, the McGowans...and the McGowans' 7 sons.
Turns out, living with 7 boys might as well be a foreign country
The boys are messy. They are cliquey (who knew?). And worst of all,
two of the oldest boys are H-O-T. (A problem considering they are
supposed to be Megan's "brothers.") Megan is definitely in enemy
territory. She needs to win over the boys' hearts without totally
crushing her own.
And when Megan starts falling for one of them, sibling rivalry
takes on a whole new meaning....

So when Amari gets an invitation to the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she's certain this is her chance to find Quinton. But first she has to get her head around the new world of the Bureau, where mermaids, aliens and magicians are real, and her roommate is a weredragon.
Amari must compete against kids who've known about the supernatural world their whole lives, and when each trainee is awarded a special supernatural talent, Amari is given an illegal talent - one that the Bureau views as dangerous. With an evil magician threatening the whole supernatural world, and her own classmates thinking she is the enemy, Amari has never felt more alone. But if she doesn't pass the three tryouts, she may never find out what happened to Quinton...
