Thalia the failure

the long version

Thalia doesn't want to go to Madame Aquila's Academy. She can't get any of her spells right, or even use the crystal ball. And the only thing she can do with her broomstick is sweep! Poor Thalia would give anything to go to plain old Ferntree Primary School with Lyneve and Tracy Dobbs from next door. But on graduation day, just as Thalia is about to become an official failure, she discovers she has at least one talent that no-one has noticed and Madame Aquila had better watch out! 7 yrs+
