About this ebook

One last chance to control her magic…or she’s banished to a world without it.

At the ripe old age of eighteen, Calendula Dobkins should be able to cast simple enchantments as easy as breathing. But most days, Callie and magic aren’t exactly on speaking terms. Not that she doesn’t have it. More like…she has control issues.

Her parents pack her off to Miss Primm’s Academy for Wayward Witches, where she has only three years to whip her unruly magic into shape. Or DOME (the Department of Magical Exile) will banish her to Mundania. A world without magic.

Callie quickly learns which girls have her back, and who will throw her under the bus. Pop quizzes can be killer. The Beginning Spells professor seems have it in for her. And…just who is the mysterious Miss Primm, anyway?

Then there’s the six feet of Scottish gorgeousness she meets at the joint school dance with Master Marco’s School for Woeful Wizards, Lochlan Abernathy. If Callie can survive finals with a ticket to year two, maybe they can do more than just dream about the future…

Ratings and reviews

Christine Pope has again provided an absolutely amazing storyline in Miss Primm’s Academy of Wayward Witches. This is a fascinating trilogy featuring a special academy for witches that are not able to control their powers or powers that are not adequate to live in the magical alternative world that is composed of witches and warlocks. Technology does not exist in this world as all everyday needs are met by magic. In the first book of the series, we meet Calendula Dobkins also known as Callie. Unfortunately, although Callie does have magical powers, she is not able to control the power and seems to cause much havoc. Enter Miss Primm’s Academy for Wayward Witches – a special school for teens (18 and over) that teaches the required control. The school program lasts three years where students reside and attend classes. They are not able to see their families for the full three years. Book 1 describes the first year at the academy where Callie meets and becomes friends with three other students. Students who fail at the academy are sent to a world without magic but with advanced technology called mundania. I highly recommend the book. As in many of Christine Pope’s previous series, this trilogy is also hard to put down until the very last page.

The Worst Witch and Hex Hall meet junior college crossed over with a finishing school, that’s really one of the best ways to describe Misspelled. And I love this book. Callie lives in a world where everyone has magic, and some are better at it than others, which happens to be the case with Callie. She’s sent to Miss Primm’s Academy for Wayward Witches for three years, without being able to go home and see her family, no Christmas or summer vacations at this boarding school. I adore Callie and the journey that she goes through in just her first year alone. She makes some awesome friends, who are willing to work together to support one another and be there for each other. They all go through a crazy adventure as they realize that just something is up and it’s not just with their powers. I really adored this story and I felt like I was taken back to my days in college only you know without the magic and threat of potentially losing it but some classes kind of felt that was a possibility. It’s only one of a trilogy but I am a good way through the second book and am excited to get to the third. I like a lot of Christine Pope’s books, this has definitely moved up the line though. Callie was for me a lot more relatable and just gave me the nostalgic feels of things that only happened a few years ago for me. It just brought me back to a time where it felt like I was not ready for the journey ahead. I did receive an ARC but this in no way affects my thoughts or opinions of what I read.

Totally amazing and off the charts for this breathtaking trilogy, Miss Primm’s Academy for Wayward Witches, Books 1,2, 3. Book 1 takes you into a magical world where witches and wizards either have magic or do not. Calendula Dobkins (aka Callie) cannot control her magic and so she is sent to Miss Primm’s Academy to learn how to control it. She becomes good friends with 3 other girls that leads to a mutual bond of friendship. The curriculum is tough and Callie finds a particular professor that she feels is against her. Callie and her 3 very good friends deal with it all while studying how to control their magic at the Academy. It becomes stressful for the 4 girls though because there’s something preventing good outcome and success in their magical studies. I totally recommend this book as well as the other two books in the trilogy. I applaud author Christine Pope for another job well done that allows the reader a trip into another of her great stories
