Here’s the set-up:
A
new student has entered The Alchemists Academy, and he brings with him
an explosive power that threatens the Academy and the legend of Merlin.
Wirt thought he was the only bad boy at the Academy, but he was wrong.
Not only is Roland Black worse than Wirt, but a new teacher had replaced
one of their beloved teachers, and she has more planned for Wirt and
his friends than just lesson plans. Alana, his crush has grown prettier,
and now he is rivals for her attention with not only his best friend
Spencer, but newcomer Roland, as well. On top of that, it is their
second year, and the year where all the students must pass a test to
move on to the Elite Class at the Academy. The Elite Class is the only
class in the third year at the Academy, and the students who fail will
be sent home, others will face something even deadlier.

Read an excerpt of Elemental Explosions here:
Wirt dreamt that he was sitting in his room, knowing that it was a dream in
that way people do sometimes. Only it wasn’t his room. Not now. His room
was the one at the Alchemists’ Academy that he shared with Spencer, his
half of it a complete mess while Spencer’s was pin neat. This
room was the one he’d had with his last foster parents, Joan and Peter,
decorated according to their idea of what a boy his age should have
liked, and several years too young for Wirt as a result. There was the
bed, the small desk, the wardrobe with the familiarly unexplained dents
in the front. Not to mention the football themed wallpaper. Wirt hated
football.

Without thinking about it, Wirt found himself wandering downstairs, a strange
sense of excitement in his stomach. Somehow he knew, in that way you did
in dreams, that it was Christmas morning, and that they would be
waiting for him in the kitchen, ready to exchange presents. That was
even more proof that this couldn’t be real, because he had never
actually done that with Joan and Peter. As with so many of the places
Wirt had stayed, he hadn’t been there long enough.
