A fun middle-grade contemporary fantasy with an all-BIPOC cast,
about a social-media loving tween who gets sent to an ultra-private
witch camp—now in paperback!Hasani’s post-seventh-grade summer
to-do list is pretty simple: get a bigger following for her makeup
YouTube channel and figure out how to get her parents back
together. What she does NOT expect is that an emotional outburst
will spark a latent magical ability in her. Or that the magic will
be strong enough to attract the attention of witches. Or that
before she can say #BlackGirlMagic, she’ll be shipped off on a
scholarship to a fancy finishing school for talented young
ladies.Les Belles Demoiselles is a literal charm school. Here,
generations of young ladies from old-money witch families have
learned to harness their magic, and alumnae grow to become some of
the most powerful women across industries, including politicians,
philanthropists, CEOs, entrepreneurs—and yes, even social media
influencers. Needless to say, admission to the school is highly
coveted, very exclusive . . . and Hasani sticks out like a weed in
a rose bouquet.While the other girls have always known they were
destined to be witches, Hasani is a Wildseed—a stray witch from a
family of non-witches, with no background knowledge, no way to
control her magic, and a lot to catch up on. “Wildseed” may be
an insult that the other girls throw at her, but Wildseeds are more
powerful than they know. And Hasani will learn that there are ways
to use magic and thrive that can never be taught in a classroom.
