Hilo's friend Polly was hoping to become the youngest student ever to be named sorcerer. However, all her past adventures with Hilo have gotten her in trouble with the council. She and her brother Pip (who also seems to always find trouble) are sent to Wombatton, a school for bad kids. Strange things are happening as Wombatton. The teachers and other kids are picking on Polly's new roommate, students are disappearing and monsters keep showing up. It is up to Polly, Pip and their new friend Noria to solve the mystery. 

A fun, entertaining, well-drawn graphic novel that fans of Hilo will love. The story includes adventure, mischief, and mystery. There is also a good message about being kind to people who are different than us.
