Nova Dumont is the most powerful shapeshifter the world has ever seen. Unfortunately for her, the Guardians of the Silver Oak Tree also think she's a thief. When she returns to the Silver Oak School for her second year, the Guardians watch her every move. But Nova doesn't understand why. She just wants to be a normal kid.

Then Campus Quest begins. It's a friendly, inter-campus scavenger hunt designed to bring the second years closer together. But in the midst of her personal struggles and her fight with the Guardians, Nova feels further apart from her friends than ever before. Will she ever find a way to clear her name?
