Hasani is a fairly skilled witch, but there have been enough incidents that suggest she's not quite in control of her magical abilities. She spent the summer in a school for witches, where she failed miserably at harnessing her powers. Ready to return to a certain level of normalcy, Hasani looks forward to the school year at Riverbend Middle. Plus, this is the year she will finally be the captain of the Mathletes, something she has been looking forward to for years!
Two large obstacles stand in her way of having a great 8th grade year, however. First, Hasani must find a way to let Angelique, her best friend, know she's a witch. Hasani is part of a coven, and the other two girls have now become friends with Hasani's group, but Hasani is worried that Angelique might not feel the same way about their relationship after she reveals she's a witch. But, more importantly, Hasani's nemesis, a fellow witch LaToya, has returned to ruin her life and now attends Riverbend Middle, and has even joined the Mathletes!
As an infestation of termites ruins the beginning of school, and Hasani is convinced LaToya is behind it. The exterminator turns out to be a witch as well, and she suggests to Hasani and her mother that perhaps Hasani would benefit from additional training. Hasani soon finds herself working with Ms. Lafleur, who teaches her to better control her magic. Hoping to catch LaToya and undermine her credibility once and for all, Hasani pursues an investigation, while juggling her friendships and tutoring. But the deeper she digs, the more she loses sight of what is really important for her. Can Hasani make her way back to what matters most?
