Twelve-year-old Magnolia Bannister lives a carefree life aboard her parent's magical steamboat, a vessel that travels half-in, and half-out of, the outside world. She's quite happy with her station in life and wouldn't have it any other way. But all that is about to change when Magnolia's parents hand their daughter an emerald-green envelope with spidery golden writing on it - an announcement from Gryndells, a school for magician children in Ilium, telling her that she has been enrolled. Unhappy with what her parents have done, Magnolia plots to run away - but changes her mind when a 300 year old magician hands her a special ring and explains that things won't go so well at Gryndells if she doesn't take it. And soon, Magnolia and her parrot, and three classmates (including one of the headmaster's sons), are caught up an extraordinary magical adventure when they defy Headmaster Tallow Halliwell and strike out on their own to find five missing students and five missing dragon teeth.
