In a world where magical talent is the most direct route to fame, fortune and happiness, James Wadworth has none. To make things worse, he's been recognized as the least magical boy in Estalla, which is tough criticism for an 11-year-old. But that doesn't excuse him of his duty to be tested for magical ability every year, no matter how fruitless the test might be. However, something wonderful happens in his second year of testing: somehow, impossibly, he passes and earns the right to attend Maginuise Academy, the premier school for future witches and wizards in the Dulfast Protectorate. With the help of his parents, professors, and new friends, he sets off to become the greatest wizard the world has ever known (or at least good enough to pass his classes!). Unfortunately, things are not quite what they seem at the academy, and when one of his friends goes missing, it's up to James and his rookie magician friends to get to the bottom of the mystery. But will they save their friend without being captured themselves?
