This was not what I expected but I really enjoyed this book.  What a great cast of characters plus a great moral lesson to throw into the mix. I was drawn into the story from chapter 1 and I couldn't wait to see how Gail turned out in the end. Would she end up being expelled from school, run away or end up being friends with one of the people she despised from the beginning? Gail was a feisty girl who didn't seem like the type to back down but she had no friends, she was new to the school and she had a lot of emotional baggage when she arrived at the school.  You just never knew if she just needed time or if it was her personality.  Bullying was a perfect problem to throw into the mix as she was adjusting to her new life and there were other students who were also dealing with this same issue.  Then she had the issue of "magic" to comprehend. Did she really have "magic" or was she just imagining things? I liked that this was a YA Paranormal book as it also dealt with the issues of peer pressure and relationships. This book had it all and did not waste time with petty details but moved things along at a very fast pace.  I thought I had Nick all figured out and then, I was totally wrong. Good job on that one!! Well written book.
