About this listen
In this middle-grade fantasy, perfect for fans of Nevermoor and The School for Good and Evil series, humor, heart, and a symphony of magic take center stage.
Amelia Jones has always dreamed of attending the Mystwick School of Musicraft, where the world’s most promising musicians learn to create musical magic. Unfortunately, Amelia botches her audition and her dream comes crashing down—until the school agrees to give her a second chance. Amelia vows to do whatever it takes to make her dream come true.
However, between a teacher who really dislikes her and a roommate who wants to see her expelled, Amelia has her hands full. On top of that, supernatural powers are threatening Mystwick, and Amelia might be the only person who can save the school…but only if she can remain true to herself. The combination of Jessica Khoury’s storytelling mastery, the highly-nuanced performance by award-winning narrator Suzy Jackson, and the songs, musical interludes, and original compositions included in this audio (all performed by the NJSO Youth Orchestras) makes it a treat for all fans of the fantasy genre.
"Toe-tapping fantasy mixes music and mystery."

Story5 out of 5 stars 50
Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: CIA or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent". In fact Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science - but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy.

Story5 out of 5 stars 2
In the Clandoms, everyone is born with wings, with tight-knit communities formed around bird types: Jay, Falcon, Crow. Ellie Meadows dreams of growing up to join the Goldwings - the famed knights who defend all the people of the Clandoms. It was a Goldwing, after all, who saved her life on that terrible day her parents were killed. There's just one problem: Ellie is a Sparrow, and the Goldwings are almost invariably picked from the higher clans like Eagles and Ospreys. This rigid hierarchy means that Ellie is destined to become a farmer.

What the critics say
“The concept of musicraft - producing magic by playing music - feels fresh and is undeniably appealing, and who is going to say no to a trip to another magical boarding school? The storytelling flows, pulling readers along, and some particularly grand, magical sequences (including a legitimately epic ending) make this stand-alone fantasy a memorable adventure…. It’s full of heart, clever plotting, and strong world building that young readers, musicians, and otherwise, will enjoy escaping to.” (Booklist)
“Khoury’s supernatural story is full of witty and comedic moments. The magical system is creatively designed and influenced by different tunes and kids learning to play instruments will get a kick out of seeing a fellow instrument-player struggle with auditions and use her talent to create literal magic. At the core, this is a feel-good story about believing in one’s ability, musical or otherwise.” (The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books)
“Beautiful imagery describes magic emerging from instruments. The book’s climax will send a chill down readers’ spines. For fans of Harry Potter who don’t want to stray too far from Hogwarts but are in need of new adventures.” (School Library Journal)

Ready for book 2! 😁
This is a brilliant production. Having the music played during the narration gives you a sense of the story in a special way and it's carefully balanced so it doesn't overshadow the reader's voice.
The story is well-crafted too. Amelia feels like a real 11-year old, confidence mixed with self-doubts and all. Events fall out in ways that don't disappoint but that are not entirely predictable.
This is the first time my daughter (age 9) has expressed interest in what I was listening to and when it was done, asked if there is another! There are certainly threads that could be picked up and explored but the story is whole in itself, so you can start it without fear you'll be left hanging.

Family Listening
We listened to this book as a family in the car, by the campfire, as a bedtime story. My kids 6 and 11 loved the characters, the adventure and the mystery. The music really added to the performance. They were quick to ask if there is another book!!! Thanks for something new to keep our wide age range interested!!

An Unexpected Gem
You know, as a 30-year-old adult, I did not expect to enjoy this middle-grade story from Audible. However, much to my surprise, I was sucked into the world of Mystwick.
In terms of the story, The Mystwick School of Musicraft brought back a lot of the magical joy that I experienced reading Harry Potter for the first time, but with a musical twist (which mad my former band nerd heart leap with delight).
Story aside, the orchestral performances that accompanied the narrative were incredible and a real treat to listen to while not overpowering the narrator.
As for the narrator, Suzy Jackson did a superb job bringing life to this book; each character was a complete individual with their voicing.
Overall, The Mystwick School of Musicraft was an utter gem of a story; it was like Harry Potter for band nerds. I would not hesitate to recommend this title to fantasy lovers of all ages.

A family favourite!
My kids and I loved this story! We discovered it when audible was free for kids during the pandemic and enjoyed it just as much when we listened to it for the second time recently! We had to revisit the world of Mystwick after discovering the second book was available.
