Care to Matriculate?: Ten Top Schools of Science & Magic | My Musings

**Today's List: Back to School Freebie **

Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, “was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!”

The next Top Ten Tuesday can be anything school related, so I have chosen 10 of my favorite school based SFF books/series. No I didn't include Harry Potter since... duh.

 

For series, I have only included the cover for the first book. Hover to read the publisher's summary.
