Jupiter Nettle And The Seven Schools Of Magic GN – Viking Books for Young Readers releases a new graphic novel from Sangu Mandanna, author of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches and Kiki Kallira Breaks a Kingdom. Twelve-year-old Jupiter Nettle has always wanted to attend one of the Seven Schools of Magic, but when she finally gets the call to take the exams, she ends up failing one test after another. She goes home dejected and confused but receives an unexpected visitor that night who gives her another chance. However, learning magic isn’t what she expected. The School of Earth is looked down upon by others, there’s no cool spells, and her teacher, Professor Grim, lives up to his name. Even though she works hard, the doubts in her mind shake her confidence to the brink of giving up. When an age-old enemy of the Seven Schools returns to exact revenge, Jupiter must find the courage and magic that’s been within her all along. Fans of Harry Potter, The Okay Witch, and City of Dragons will enjoy this new title.
