Written by Kat Howard. Art by Tom Fowler. Cover by Kai Carpenter.

Timothy Hunter may be destined tobecome the most powerful magician in the universe, but he's still a London teenager, and having magical abilities complicates things more than it helps. It's not like he can use magic to pass his exams, stop being bullied or convince his cute friend to date him. And while Tim's trying to live his life, there are cultists who want to kill him, believing his power will eventually corrupt him into becoming a merciless mage. Oh, and those are the good guys. Luckily, his new substitute teacher is more than she appears, and may be able to help Tim discover the mystery behind the Books of Magic… 32 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $3.99.

That night, Jupiter gets an unexpected visitor and, amazingly, another chance at the Seven Schools!
