Ella Masterson is a high school freshman living in London. (London, Ontario. Not England. The other London.) She's grown up idolizing magical girl anime and developed a talent for her own magic. When she gets a job working for the town Fixer, adventures abound. Chasing an invisible, talking cat through downtown? Facing off against a water nymph drowning people in the Thames River?
