[wyvernfriend]

A pretty typical boarding school story with magic. Paige has to go to the boarding school because her parents are in Dubai, however she finds part-way through the year that the school is going to close but with the help of a mysterious black kitten she and her new friends try to save the school.

It's light and fluffy and has potential but there's very little real detail.
