Malekin

Jess hasn't had an ordinary childhood. She's human, at least, but she her family are a little unusual. Being raised by fairies, gnomes and a unicorn, Jess is a malekin; a human child who can perform magic. She's been coping pretty well until now, but that was before she had to go to school! Keeping her powers secret may be the least of her troubles, especially with the meanest maths teacher in school. Gems is a series of ten books highlighting strong and unique female protagonists. Series features include brilliant full colour illustrations throughout the book, bite-sized chunks of text and questions at the end to ensure understanding. Topics range from aliens and sea monsters to twisted fairy tales and mistaken identities.
