Jaden Powers and the Inheritance Magic

In this magical middle grade fantasy perfect for fans of The Marvellers and Amari and the Night Brothers, a shy boy must step up and become his own hero after his best friend disappears at a magical school.

Jaden and Elijah have been best friends since they were born. They''re so close that Jaden doesn''t even mind that he''s constantly living in talented, high-achieving Elijah''s shadow-well, he doesn''t mind much.

But then Elijah disappears, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note asking for Jaden''s help. The next day, Jaden is invited to attend Elijah''s fancy private boarding school. Only, it turns out it''s not a boarding school at all. It''s a school for magic! Somehow, before Elijah vanished, he used his note to transfer part of his own magic into Jaden-a feat that is supposed to be impossible.

Determined to find his friend, Jaden agrees to attend the school and learn to control his new powers. But a sinister force is threatening to destroy the whole magical world. And if Jaden doesn''t stop it, he''ll be the next to disappear.
