Jaden Powers and the Inheritance Magic

In this magical middle grade fantasy perfect for fans of The Marvellers and Amari and the Night Brothers, a shy boy must step up and become his own hero after his best friend disappears at a magical school.
Jaden and Elijah have been best friends since they were born. They re so close that Jaden doesn t even mind that he s constantly living in talented, high-achieving Elijah s shadow-well, he doesn t mind much.
But then Elijah disappears, leaving behind nothing but a cryptic note asking for Jaden s help. The next day, Jaden is invited to attend Elijah s fancy private boarding school. Only, it turns out it s not a boarding school at all. It s a school for magic! Somehow, before Elijah vanished, he used his note to transfer part of his own magic into Jaden-a feat that is supposed to be impossible.
Determined to find his friend, Jaden agrees to attend the school and learn to control his new powers. But a sinister force is threatening to destroy the whole magical world. And if Jaden doesn t stop it, he ll be the next to disappear.
