This story picks up right after Moth and her BFF Charlie have a seriously amazing winter break, and Moth is dreading heading back to school. She’s finally settling into her newfound magical abilities and witchy heritage at home, but school is a different story. As if the eighth grade weren’t tough enough, she’s dealing with a bully who’s always teasing her about who she is, her BFF doesn’t really understand Moth’s struggles, and her mom is dating a super dorky teacher! Moth is already pretty anxious and shy, so it’s tough for her to handle the added drama she’s dealing with on top of everything else that’s been happening.
