Staff Pick of the Week: Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins

This week's book pick is Hex Hall by Rachel Hawkins.

After Sophie Mercer casts a spell at prom that does not go as planned, she is sent to Hecate Hall (also known as Hex Hall), a boarding school for Prodigium (i.e. witches, shapeshifters, and faeries) who don't know how to behave in the human world. Sophie has known she was a witch for quite a while, but this is the first time she's been around other Prodigium, and these folks actually know what they're doing with their power - unlike Sophie. But then Sophie encounters a mysterious ghost who turns out to be her great-grandmother, and soon Sophie is creating spells that may get her into even more trouble.
