Leah
and Marie Mckinzie appear to be average thirteen-year olds but they are
anything but. Marie's natural ability to create items from thin air and
Leah's gift to bring any object she touches to life are talents their
parents demand they hide. Like good girls they do until the night an
explosion rocks their world. Now with their parents gone,
they bounce from foster home to foster home, where it isn't long before
their secret talents are exposed. Shortly thereafter, Mrs Brindle, the
headmistress of the renown Dormitory arrives to take them back to her
elite school for orphaned kids.
Soon Leah and Marie find themselves residing in Dormitory C. Uncertain about their future, they vow to stay together, no matter what. However shortly after they arrive, Marie, the more outgoing of the twins angers Kacee, the dorm assistant. The theft of the dorm's beloved mascot, a stuffed monkey named Mr. Wiggles, leads to Marie being blamed. It's up to Leah to find the animal and make things right, before Kacee demands Marie be removed from their dorm.

Excerpt
Blurb:
After rescuing Mr. Wiggles, Leah has become quite popular with the girls of Dormitory C, and even a few of the boys. She's even got a chance of making the school's famed archery team, the Sharpshooters. But once she meets the formidable Coach Pristash, she wonders if she wants to pursue the idea, especially when her former teacher, Mr. Logins, warns her to be sure she wants to, because the team may ask for more than she's willing to give. When rumors start to fly around the dorm about last season's star, a girl from Dormitory B, leaving under mysterious circumstances after a confrontation with the Coach, she nearly backs out. Well, until a cute boy from her dorm suggests she not listen to rumors and make her own decision. Smitten, she ignores not only the warnings from her friends but her sister as well.
Aaron Sanchez may be confined to a wheelchair but his arms work perfectly fine. As the captain of the Sharpshooters, he challenges her to join the team if that's what she wants. So Leah does. Under Coach Pristash's tutelage she rises up the ranks quickly, improving drastically until she's offered a permanent spot on the varsity team. As the romance buds between her and Aaron, however, she can't continue to ignore the building whispers that all isn't as it seems at the Dormitory. Even as her suspicions are raised, Aaron's ready explanations have her torn. As the truth is revealed, will she help lead the Sharpshooters to another championship or will she walk away from both Aaron and the team?
