Sayonara Magic: Wizards in School

by Amèlia Mora, Ana C. Sánchez, Dana Guterman Levy (translator)

The Tanaka triplets can do magic. The only catch? They can’t use their powers without supervision. So, obviously, they would never, ever break that rule . . . right?! This is an illustrated book that combines manga with text. 

Triplets Hiro, Akira, and Naoki Tanaka love their school and classmates, but they have one big secret they’re keeping. They can do magic! They learn from their father, and they have one major No magic without permission, no exceptions. Otherwise, they’ll have to leave their normal school with all their friends to study how to do magic “the right way.”

But sometimes magic feels like the only way to solve a problem! And when they get themselves into all sorts of trouble, it’s up to the siblings to fix the spells and clean up any magical messes before their parents or a nosy classmate can catch wind of it. This is the first book in a new series for readers ages 7-11 about fitting in, finding yourself, and problem-solving.
