Magic and academia collide when Lily Carter sits for a top-secret Princeton University entrance exam. With help from a mysterious boy--and hindrance from many other people and creatures--she must save both the magical and the real Princeton from all-out war. Durst incorporates some imaginative fantasy elements into the book, which is more concerned with setting than characterization.
