Isabella & Blodwen - Rachael Smith

Sixteen year-old Isabella has been granted early admission to the prestigious University of Oxford. Academically gifted, but severely lacking in social skills, she finds navigating the hallowed halls a trial she can't study her way out of. Mixing with older students, and struggling to find her place, she sets her heart on the coveted summer internship with her hero, Professor MacLeod. While wondering how to get the letter of recommendation she needs to be considered, she accidentally drops an exhibit from a museum she's visiting in her bag and Blodwen, the Witch from the Bottle enters her life] Aimed at a young adult audience, and exploring themes of friendship, growing up, and finding your place in the world, Isabella & Blodwen is a story that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt alone and that the world is against them.
