What does it mean to be good? This popular, bewitching tale of good and evil takes readers to Oz with a magical twist!
In The School for Wicked Witches, Ava Heartstraw has been invited to test her magic for a chance to attend the West Oz Witch Academy, a renowned academy for magical kids to learn to hone their powers and learn to use their abilities responsibly. But after her attempt at magic during her trial goes catastrophically wrong, her magic is interpreted as evil, and she’s banished to the School for Wicked Witches.
Set in Oz and sprinkled with jokes and easter eggs, Wicked and Wizard of Oz fans will love all the references, but this is a perfect read for anyone who loves stories set at magical schools, the struggle between good and evil, and courageous witches discovering their truths, finding their people, and opening their eyes to new perspectives.
The second book in the series, Wicked Never Waits, is out now, and Ava, Crow, Henry, and Tinabella are back for another adventure – and we’ve teamed up with Scholastic to give you a chance to WIN both books in this magical series!

The School for Wicked Witches
SYNOPSIS:
Ava isn’t ready to leave her home in Oz — especially not to become a witch. Then the worst thing that could possibly happen occurs — Ava’s magic goes very wrong and she is banished to a school for wicked witches. Perfect for fans of WICKED, WITCHLINGS, and THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL!
In Oz, most girls and boys with magical powers are sent from the north, south, east, and west to renowned witch academies, where they are elevated and taught all the finer ways to be a responsible witch. But if you misbehave? Or are thought to harbor darker magic? You’re sent to the equivalent of witch reform school — The School for Wicked Witches. ONLY! Once you get there, you find that the witches running are so powerful that they’ve managed to trick the rest of the outside world. Yes, it looks to outside like they are taming the wickedness out of the witches… but in truth, the school is run by wicked witches (who, incidentally, don’t see themselves as wicked at all… although some of them really are.)
Ava Heartstraw has never even considered being wicked. But when she goes to take her entrance test for a witch academy, she doesn’t get the reaction she’s expecting — and is the first kid in memory from the West to be sent to the School for Wicked Witches.
Wicked Never Waits
SYNOPSIS:
Perfect for fans of WICKED, WITCHLINGS, and THE WIZARD OF OZ, this magical series returns with magical adventures, friendship feuds, and a whole lot more.
After making her escape from The School for Wicked Witches, Ava has realized that it might be the right place for her, after all. But her return isn’t triumphant — if anything, she’s more behind than ever. When things start to go very wrong at the school, Ava discovers she may be able to save the day… but only if she pairs up with Tinabella, her friend-turned-enemy. What’s a young witch to do?
