Becoming a hero didn't make school any safer.
Casey Grimes survived the monsters. Barely.
Now he's officially enrolled at Trickery School, one of America's premier monster-control academies, hidden deep in the heart of Sylvan Woods.
This should be the good part. The campus is gorgeous. The friendships are real. And the classes? Completely wild-a little too wild, even, for a place with homework.
But Land Creature Defense and Extreme Climbing aren't what worry Casey most.
Someone is after him.
Not a Bog Creep or a Hyena Toad-but a secret enemy. Clever. Patient. More dangerous than any monster he's faced. This adversary doesn't roar or bite. They plan. They wait. And they don't miss.
To make matters worse, magic is back on the curriculum at Trickery School after a hundred-year ban-and everyone knows Casey is the reason. Invisibility never prepared him for this kind of spotlight.
With his sharp-eyed sister, Gloria, and friends Luci, Robert, and Jake, Casey must survive his training, unravel dangerous secrets, and discover why he's being targeted-before the shadow enemy makes its move.
Because this isn't just about passing classes.
It's about staying alive.
Trickery School is a fast-paced middle grade fantasy adventure packed with action, mystery, and sibling banter for kids ages 9-12 (confident readers up to 14) who like their magical schools with teeth.
Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Harry Potter-style magical schools, and the heart and humor of the Wingfeather Saga.
Highly rated by parents, teachers, and librarians-and loved by families.
The monsters are smarter.
The secrets are deadlier.
And class is officially in session.
