Magically

Estelle Alexander is one chaotic thing after another.

Every orphanage she's been in has collapsed, sometimes literally, while she's there.

But everything changes the day she's adopted by an oddly eccentric lady who runs a boarding school for the gifted. Gifted, in that they can all do things that normal people can't.

Her new friends, are a little odd as well.

Christine is the world's most powerful sorceress.

Oliver is a mute telepath.

Abilene is sweet girl with the gift of mind control.

And as for Estelle, newly dubbed Essie, well, she's something else. Something no one's ever heard of before, and is possibly a danger to herself and everyone around her.

But she'll pull through.

Magically.
