Mystwick School series
This second book in the Mystwick School series takes up just days after the end of the first book. Amelia thinks she's finally settling in, she's finally made a place for herself and she belongs. She's looking forward to learning to use her newly discovered magical gift of Composing.
Then, of course, complications hit her, one by one. First, the other Amelia Jones shows up, miraculously rescued from being shipwrecked. This Mia is not a nice person, especially since she's determined to keep Darby and Amelia from being friends. Then the mysterious Mr. Midnight contacts Amelia by magically appearing notes, summoning her to the Midnight Orchestra. Then her classmates decide to enter a musical competition the school hasn't been able to enter since the grand prize trophy was stolen from them by cheaters. They're depending on Amelia to compose the winning musical spell -- and Amelia finds out that her mother was the composer for that last team.
Amelia's composing teacher, Miss Mott, is something of a free spirit, whose teaching methods leave her confused and frustrated. Especially when one thing after another goes wrong, in school and her life. Pushed to the breaking point, she makes a rash decision, which ends in her owing a huge debt to Mr. Midnight. And he's not above threatening her friends and the school to make sure she pays. Amelia could lose far more than the competition.
Bravisimo!
