Twelve-year-old Oliver Grae was just trying to get through another day of school without being noticed. But when a group of bullies corner him one day, something impossible happens-a burst of blinding light knocks them off their feet. No punches. No tricks. Just pure, raw magic. Too stunned-and scared-to say anything, the bullies run. And Oliver is left shaken, confused... and certain of one thing: something inside him has changed. He's a wizard! And he's not supposed to be. Terrified of what might happen if anyone finds out, Oliver tries to keep his powers hidden. But when he meets Jaci, a bold and brilliant girl who knows far more about magic than she should, everything changes. Together they explore a secret world of spells, strange creatures, and ancient prophecies-one where Oliver may play a much bigger role than he ever imagined. Oliver and the Oracle is a thrilling magical adventure about friendship, identity, and the spark of power we all carry inside-if we're brave enough to use it.

[COMPLETED] My grandmother is a witch. My mother is a witch. My sisters are witches. Even my daddy is a warlock when he's not moonlighting as a rat (a consequence of the aforementioned grandmother's temper). So you would think I would be a witch too, right? Nope. Not a spark of magic resides in my fingertips, and even worse, I'm beginning to think I'm allergic to magic. Kind of a big problem when you live in the middle of the most magical town in Mississippi. I'm just biding my time until I turn eighteen. Then, I can pack my bags and move out into the real world- with the normal humans. Until then, I just have to survive my grandmother's experiments, my sister's nasty temper, and the charms of the town's bad boy, Ash Goodwin. Easy...ier said than done.
