Lindsey Barron Series Volume 1 the Rod of the Apocalypse - Paperback

The Lindsey Barron Series is the US answer to Harry Potter. A hundred years ago, wizards and witches finally came out, openly working their spells, accepted by those who have no such skills. Around the country, magic schools were established, where the students go to learn both their traditional subjects and also magic. When they graduate, they have a high school diploma as well as mastery of much magic. Set in our future, now twelve years old, Lindsey discovers that she has been given a full scholarship to Bradbury's School of Magic, somewhere near Telluride, Colorado. Her father, though she did not know it, was a famous wizard, primarily responsible for capturing the incredibly evil wizard known as Dominus Malefic, some fifteen years ago. Now Dominus has escaped and the action begins! Set in our future, now twelve years old, Lindsey discovers that she has been given a full scholarship to Bradbury's School of Magic. Her father, who was a famous wizard, died in an accident when she was only five.
