CBCA Notables 2023. Lucy is just a regular teenager with regular worries- homework, friends, getting home for dinner on time. Oh, and there's the small matter of how she's going to tell her mother about her unplanned pregnancy. When Lucy hears she's been enrolled in Drake's College, a school for students with magical talent, she's sure someone's messing with her. But despite her scepticism, she's soon swept up into a new double life-and now she's got something else to hide. At Drake's, Lucy befriends the handsome Jack, a teacher's assistant who has secrets of his own. More concerningly, Lucy's 'talent' doesn't seem to be materialising, and one of the other students collapses in a mysterious incident. There's danger in the air.
