A sharp, hilarious novel set at a high school for students with magical talent
Lucy is just a regular teenager with regular worries- homework, friends, getting home for dinner on time. Oh, and there's the small matter of how she's going to tell her mother about her unplanned pregnancy.
So when she first hears about Drake's College, a school for students with magical talent, she's sure someone's messing with her. But despite her scepticism, she's soon swept up into a world beyond her wildest imaginings-and now she's got something else to hide.
At Drake's, Lucy befriends Jack, a teacher's assistant who has secrets of his own. More concerningly, Lucy's 'talent' doesn't seem to be materialising, and one of the other students collapses in a mysterious incident. There's danger in the air...
Populated with charming characters, and laugh-out-loud funny at times, The Not So Chosen One is a clever, rollicking ride.
