Brooke Thompson and the Elixir of Life

It has been eleven years since all was well. In that time, mysteries have been unfolded, secrets betrayed, and promises broken. When young Brooke Thompson receives her acceptance letter to Shernhelds Academy of Magic Practice and Training, she couldn't be more surprised. Not when she buys a "magic stick," as her Muggle father calls it, not when she encounters a talking snow-globe who decides her fate, and definitely not when she discovers that her mother is not who she says she is. Suddenly, Brooke is thrust into a world completely unknown to her, where she must delve into her mother's shadowy past and uncover the deepest, darkest secrets of her own to protect her mother, herself, and Wizard-kind as they know it.
