Bookroo's summary

Henry, known as Thornmallow, struggles with magic at Wizard's Hall, where his clumsiness earns him a prickly reputation. But when a menacing sorcerer's beast threatens the school, it's up to him to protect his classmates and prove his worth. Can Thornmallow overcome his self-doubt and save the day, or will his magical mishaps spell disaster for everyone?

From the publisher

Poor Henry. It’s not enough that his mother has sent him away from home to learn magic. It’s not enough that everyone at his new school calls him Thornmallow because he’s “prickly on the outside, squishy within.” It’s not enough that the only talent he shows at Wizard’s Hall is an ability to make messes of even the simplest spells. Now, when Wizard’s Hall is threatened by a cruel sorcerer’s fearsome beast, it is up to Henry–er, Thornmallow–to figure out how to save not only his new friends but also the entire school for wizards.
