Welcome to Brightwick Academy, where magic is made of feelings - and every big emotion is a spell waiting to be understood.

In this cozy treehouse-and-tower school hidden in a magical valley, young wizards and witches don't just learn spells from a book - they learn Heartcraft, magic powered entirely by what's inside their hearts. Anger becomes fire. Fear becomes mist. Sadness becomes rain. Worry becomes wind. And every student has a magical creature familiar who feels right alongside them.

This heartwarming collection of 15 short stories follows five lovable young casters - hot-tempered Wren and her fire-fox Scorch, anxious Otto and his invisible-when-brave moth Pip, deep-feeling Marisol and her bubble-crying water-sprite Glub, competitive Beckett and his copycat magic, and quiet new girl Nia, still waiting for her magic to wake up - as each faces a real childhood emotion and learns, with the help of gentle mentor Professor Hazel Thorn, that a feeling is never bad magic. It's just magic. What matters is understanding it.

Perfect for kids ages 6-8 who love magic, wizards, witches, and magical creatures, each short story is a complete, standalone adventure that quietly builds real social emotional learning (SEL) skills, including:

  • Naming and managing anger
  • Facing fear and finding courage
  • Processing sadness and loss
  • Handling jealousy and comparison
  • Belonging and self-esteem
  • Apologizing and making repairs
  • Managing worry and anxiety
  • Empathy and understanding others' feelings
  • Sportsmanship and disappointment
  • Teamwork and asking for help
  • Kindness, inclusion, and honesty
  • Coping with change and gratitude
Kids get a fast-paced, funny, and satisfying magical adventure on every page. Parents and teachers get a natural, non-preachy way to talk about big feelings at home or in the classroom - perfect for read-aloud time, bedtime stories, or independent reading, and a great gift for any child building their emotional intelligence.

If your child loves magical creatures, cozy fantasy school settings, and stories that make feelings feel like superpowers instead of something to hide, Brightwick Academy is ready to welcome them in.
