Året er 1986. Stedet Omaha, Nebraska. 16-årige Eleanor er netop flyttet til byen med sin mor og søskende - og sin utilregnelige stedfar. Hun føler sig småtyk og forkert, og da hun stiger ind i skolebussen på sin første skoledag, falder hun omgående udenfor med sit ildrøde hår og sine bukser, der holdes sammen med sikkerhedsnåle. Der er kun én ledig plads. Ved siden af Park. Smukke og cool Park. Som også er udenfor, om end på sin egen måde. Næste dag er pladsen ved siden af Park ledig igen.

Simon Snow er den absolut værste udvalgte, der nogensinde er blevet udvalgt. Det siger hans roommate Baz i hvert fald. Og det kan godt være, at Baz er en ondsindet vampyr, men han har jo ret! Halvdelen af tiden kan Simon ikke engang få sin tryllestav til at fungere - eller også sætter han ild til ting og sager. Hans mentor gør alt for at undgå ham, hans kæreste har slået op med ham, og der er et magi-ædende monster, som går rundt med Simons ansigt på. Baz ville have nydt alt dette, hvis han altså havde været her. Det er starten på deres sidste skoleår på Watford School of Magicks, og så har Simons plageånd ikke engang besværet sig med at dukke op.

Zwei gegen den Rest der Welt... Sie sind zwei völlig verschiedene Außenseiter: Eleanor ist dick, hat wirre rote Locken und trägt weite Herren-T-Shirts. Park ist gutaussehend, zurückhaltend, Halb-Koreaner. Nur notgedrungen macht er im Schulbus für sie den Platz neben sich frei, liest seine Comics oder hört Musik. Eleanor ist froh, nur ignoriert statt gemobbt zu werden. Sie kommt aus einer desolaten Familie, Park aus einer gutbürgerlichen.
