The Observatorium gets a new student, Parsha Parchment-Paper, from the esteemed school of Wentbridge! She’s unhappy with her new, underfunded school and lets Abacus know it. Will the wizard’s paper airplane lesson win her over, or will it nearly destroy the school… again…

Lessons include: you can only make new friends if you give them a chance, and where you’re from doesn’t make you better or worse than anyone else.
