(W/A/CA) Matthew Dow Smith Amelia Shadows has never had what you might call a ?normal? childhood. For one thing, her dad?s the most powerful dark magician in the world. And for another, she?s spent her entire life in a house filled with ghosts and monsters and incredibly dangerous magical objects! As far as Amelia?s concerned, her life?s actually pretty cool. When Amelia and her cat, Clara, aren?t having adventures or dealing with dimensional portals in the pantry, she?s learning to be a dark magician, just like her dad, with the help of a ghost tutor named Gustave. You?d think a ghost tutor named Gustave would be pretty fun, but he?s actually pretty boring. And if a boring ghost tutor wasn?t bad enough, now Amelia?s dad has hired another ghost to oversee things, Hans. Which wouldn?t be that bad, except Hans has very strong opinions about how things should be around the house. This new head ghost has got to go, and Amelia may have a surprising ally? Magic and mischief and a life lesson or two from Matthew Dow Smith, creator of DC?s Misfits of Magic and Maverick?s The October Girl.
