The pressure’s on for 9-year-old Annette: she’s going to school for the first time in her life! Boarding school, to boot! In fact, this is the very first time she’s ever been confronted with other people: up until now, this only child has been home-schooled! Quirkmoor boarding school is full of wacky fantastical creatures: ghosts, vampires, mummies, merfolk, etc. Annette is an apprentice witch. Well, actually, a life apprentice, to be honest! And following Annette in this completely “zany” world makes us apprentices of fantasy!
