Why was it that I kept forgetting my magic skills were at the remedial level? By the time it was my turn, my stomach was protesting the whole idea of doing a routine in midair.
I ignored it. I wanted to make the squad. Strike that. This book is a work of fiction. Any references to historical events, real people, or real locales are used fictitiously. Life is unfair. Mega unfair. I should have known something was up. But, no. I was not prepared for them to spring the bad news—no, strike that.

Dad was more serious, as always. He says that word with a wince. Poor Dad. He never really got used to living with a witch or raising two children who could do magic. Why did they suddenly decide to make this move?
Did Dad get a fabulous new job at his advertising company so Mom and I could splurge on shopping and spa weekends? As if. Boys are dumb.
