Wizard School for the Magically Hopeless. The Chronicles of Unconventional Magic, #1

Eli Sparks has never been good at anything. but he definitely didn't expect to be this bad at magic. When Eli is unexpectedly accepted into **Grimble's Academy for Arcane Excellence**, he imagines ancient scrolls, heroic duels, and finally finding his place. Instead, he finds himself in a vertical-climbing catastrophe of flying furniture, exploding classrooms, and a staircase that refuses to stay in the same dimension for more than five minutes.
Teamed up with a group of "hopeless" misfits-including a spell-caster who is too perfect for his own good, a theory expert who can't cast a spark, and a girl hiding a power that could liquefy the foundations-Eli quickly becomes the school's favorite scapegoat. At Grimble's, if the ceiling starts raining lemon ice or the cat turns into a mahogany footstool, everyone knows who to blame. But as strange glitches begin to tear through the school, warping reality and threatening to fold the academy into a void, Eli realizes that "good" magic isn't enough to save them.
The "Perfect" students are powerless against the chaos, and the teachers are terrified of the truth. In a world obsessed with flawless precision, it turns out that being a disaster is a superpower. Eli and his friends must embrace their spectacular failures to stop a centuries-old conspiracy-because when the universe starts to break, the only people who can fix it are the ones who were never "fixed" to begin with. Packed with humor, heart, and a touch of magical mayhem, this is a fast-paced adventure about discovering that sometimes the best way to succeed.
is to stop trying to be perfect.
