A Trainee's Dream

A Trainee's Dream Synopsis

A perfect performance will cast powerful magic, but one misstep could spell disaster. Are the trainees up to the challenge?

When eleven-year-olds Soo, Ivy, and Min are among the few students invited to join an elite K-pop academy on Ganghwado Island, they think they're chasing stardom. What they don't know is that this school doesn't just make idols. It makes witches.

At this secret academy, trainees learn how the perfect blend of vocals, dance, and rap can cast spells powerful enough to change the world. But magic demands harmony - and these three trainees couldn't be more out of sync.

Ivy is buzzing with main character energy, but her confidence as a performer could lead to magical chaos! Soo loves to sing, but can she overcome her shyness and find her voice as a star? Min is born to dance, but she's so busy keeping the peace that she might never claim the spotlight! Every rehearsal is a musical and magical disaster, but if the girls can find their harmony, they could become a global sensation!

Brought to life with over 50 pages of full-colour shojo manga illustration by artist Jenn Aguilera, K-Pop Witch Academy: A Trainee's Dream is a fun, high-energy fantasy adventure for middle-grade readers - and a must-read for fans of manga, magic and K-pop.

Look out for book two, Under the Spotlight, coming in June 2027.
