Thirteen-year-old Maddie Hartwell’s life didn't just change on her birthday—it short-circuited. After accidentally frying her school’s computer lab with raw electrical surges, Maddie is whisked away to the prestigious Benjamin Franklin Academy in the Appalachian Mountains. It’s a world of Federal-style fortresses, ancient stone gates, and students who can command the very forces of nature. But Maddie is no ordinary student. During the Sorting Ceremony, she does the impossible: she manifests a dual affinity for both Water and Earth. While her peers master single elements, Maddie’s magic is a chaotic storm of mud and sparks. When she is drawn to a mysterious Ash wand once belonging to Franklin himself, the wood hums with a power that pulls her through the fabric of time. Thrust into visions of the academy’s eighteenth-century origins, Maddie discovers a cloaked figure weaving runic traps into the school’s very foundation. With Headmaster Blackthorn tightening restrictions and a dangerous rival labeling her a freak, Maddie must find the balance between her conflicting powers. Alongside her new friends and a wise Tommyknocker, she must uncover the truth behind the time slips before the shadows of the past consume her future. At Franklin Academy, chaos isn't just a mistake—it might be the only way to survive.
