The Iguana’s Scroll

They foresaw his coming. . . And the petrifying return of the politician. Fourteen-year-old Oliver García never envisioned he’d become a hero. As the son of immigrants, he’d settle for just fitting in. But when a flying feathered serpent guides him into Tenochprima Academy, he doesn’t just learn he’s capable of magic; he discovers he’s the only person in the world blessed with all three forms of it. Which ends up being a problem. After the faculty witness the extent of his abilities during a Day of the Dead ceremony, their faces tell him everything he needs to know. They dread him. And for good reason. The last person who possessed his talents had been a powerful politician who’d ended up in jail. What for? None of the students know. The adults won’t talk about it. Desperate to clear his name, Oliver seeks out a relic from a past age—the Iguana’s Scroll. According to his visions, the school’s Founders left it behind for him to find. But that had been over three hundred years ago.
