Publisher's Synopsis
The Bell Curve of Magic is a thrilling and thought-provoking children's fantasy novel set in a world where magic is defined by a strict bell curve. In this world, most people have average powers, while only a few possess extraordinary abilities-or none at all. Arlo, a young boy whose magical aptitude test results are marked "inconclusive," finds himself on the outside, rejected by the very system that is supposed to guide him.
When Arlo begins to question the system, he uncovers hidden truths about magic and its true potential. Along with a group of other students with "inconclusive" results, Arlo forms the secret group "The Gray Ones," determined to challenge the norms and discover a new way of understanding magic.
As Arlo's powers grow unpredictably, he faces danger, discovery, and the thrilling journey of redefining what magic can be. A forbidden theory of magic, strange visions, and uncharted lands beyond the bell curve lead him toward a revolutionary conclusion that will change the way the entire world views magic.
With rich world-building, vibrant characters, and a compelling message of self-acceptance and the power of individuality, The Bell Curve of Magic takes readers on an unforgettable adventure where magic isn't just a set of rules-it's a limitless force that can be shaped, shared, and embraced by everyone.
