The School of Magic
Everyone else has left for winter break. You and your friends are the only ones left to walk the hallowed halls and enchanted woods of the Trackers Campus. You're expecting a simple winter respite of cocoa and holiday treats until your parents pick you up for the New Years. Yet at the Trackers School of Magic nothing ever goes as planned...
Dark wizards are trying to steal the winter holiday spirit and its up to you and your house to recruit the help of resident teachers, magical creatures and the wilds of Enchanted Oaks Bottom in stopping them.
Please read every word on this page together with your child. Especially "A Good Fit?"
