Synopsis

What would you do if you’d been nearly invisible for most of your life, became visible again, and then found out that you’re stuck with the worst-ever magical power? That’s exactly what happened to Finley R. Thompson. Before Finn could get used to the idea that he was being sent to a magical academy in the middle of an Indiana cornfield, he knew that this otherworldly ability of his would stink. At Flatch Academy, he and a group of teens from around the world with that same peculiar talent would train to control their powers to save the non-magicals for the rest of their lives.The fantastic hallways of Flatch Academy are overwhelming and enchanting, but there is a dark, mysterious and frightening side to the Flats’ super-secret society. Will Finley find out the one truth that could change everything for so many kids who have been made invisible, too? And is he the boy they’ve all been waiting for for centuries?

About this title

About the Author

Jenny Kalahar was born in the state of Washington and she and her four older brothers were raised in Grass Lake, Michigan. She married Patrick, a used and rare bookseller, and they had open bookshops in Michigan and Ohio until moving to live and work in an old Indiana schoolhouse. They now sell books online and Patrick restores and repairs the tattered and torn volumes sent to him from around the country. They are both founding members of Last Stanza Poetry Association, and Jenny is on the board of Brick Street Poetry and the Indiana State Federation of Poetry Clubs. She is the author of two novels in her Turning Pages series – Shelve Under C: A Tale of Used Books and Cats, and its sequel, The Find of a Lifetime: Another Tale of Used Books and Cats. Both are based on experiences in their Ohio bookshop where they fostered cats from the local shelter, finding new homes for more than fifty cats over the years. She has also published a collection of nostalgic, funny and quirky poetry, One Mile North of Normal and Other Poems. When not selling books or writing, Jenny avoids doing housework; plays her piano moderately well; reads; walks their terrier, Weegee; pets their cats; plays the bells and vibraphone in a community band; and explores dusty flea markets and interesting antique shops.
