For as long as anyone can remember, Wychdusk Manor has been the school to which all the top magical novices are sent, where they are trained to become the world's greatest wizards. Androgeus Frost, part of one of the wizarding worlds' most esteemed families, always thought it was a sure thing he'd get in, but somehow finds himself dumped at Lowborn High, a struggling inner-city comprehensive school for those with mediocre magical talent. Androgeus finds himself with all the other duds, drop-outs, and those who don't have the upper-class wizarding family background. Making friends with Maisy, Ali and Dril, soon the group of friends find there are mysteries to solve and the pupils of Lowborn High can still be capable of some truly amazing feats!
