"The Last Hope School For Magical Delinquents" is a Silver Birch 2026 nominee and the first book in a series. Vin has been expelled from every magical school she's attended. "Last Hope" is truly her last chance to learn how to use her magic. If she gets expelled from this school, she will have very few options. Vin is very hesitant about her new school and what appear to be lenient rules about the use of magic. Once she makes a connection with some fellow students and the headmaster, Vin starts to feel at home for the first time ever. Unfortunately, as Vin is gaining an understanding of her magic, it appears that she is causing some dangerous things to happen. Vin and her friends band together to find out who is behind this dangerous magic and to protect their school. Since this is the first book in the series, a fair amount of time needs to be used providing the reader with background information. This felt a little tedious to me, but once I got past this, the story was engaging. If you are a fan of magic or Harry Potter books, you are certain to enjoy this new magical world.
I am a book loving elementary school teacher librarian. This blog reflects my personal opinions about the books I have read and is intended to be used by students and teachers who are looking for a book recommendation.
