Featuring a failed young wizard and her cleanup crew, this delightfully dysfunctional middle grade fantasy is an imaginative twist on magic school that' s perfect for fans of Nevermoor and TheSchool for Good and Evil. Cara Moone is a wizard-but she' s basically flunked out of wizard school. Now she' s in training to be a MOP, also known as Magical Occurrence Purger, also known as it' s Cara' s job to sweep up the hazardous dust a real wizard' s spells leave behind. A real wizard, that is, like Harlee Wu, the so-called Chosen One destined to save the magical world. But when one of Harlee' s spells goes awry and leaves behind a rift in the fabric of magic itself, it' ll take more than magic to clean up the mess. Luckily, messes are kind of Cara' s thing. Magic is messy-and fantastically fun-in this underdog story packed with humor, adventure, and attitude.
"Snarky and resilient, Cara is a memorable heroine with an engaging narrative voice and a unique perspective. " -- Publishers Weekly Praise for The Secret of Zoone: "Heartwarming and enchanting, Foedi' s vocabulary-stretching portal fantasy is a great fit for readers who want something sweet and fun. " -- ALA Booklist "Full of colorful characters. A promising start for a new series. " -- Kirkus Reviews "The world-building is detailed and rich; readers will want to travel the tracks to visit different worlds and stroll the magical market. " -- School Library Journal "Surprising revelations and plenty of humor keep the story fresh, and the good-vs. -evil plotline is nicely nuanced. A spirited and magical underdog story. " -- Kirkus Reviews
