Told from more than a dozen alternating viewpoints, this spellbinding collection of stories follows eighteen students at the Galileo Academy for the Extraordinary as they each try to solve the murder of a professor, discovering that magic doesn't always play by the rules. A prestigious school for young magicians, the Galileo Academy for the Extraordinary is reinventing itself as a roaming academy in which students of all cultures and identities are celebrated-- and there are some who aren't so happy with the recent changes. Professor of Magical History Septimius Dropwort is one of them. When the professor's body is discovered on school grounds with a mysterious note clenched in his lifeless hand, the Academy's students must solve the murder themselves, because everyone's a suspect. Join Galileo's best and brightest students as they race to discover the truth. Each is confident they have the skills-- but magic doesn't always play by the rules. -- adapted from jacket
