Ada Niezgódka seems to be an ordinary teenager until she is invited to the magical Kleks Academy. This is a vibrant school for gifted children, where imagination can work miracles. When she gets there, Ada will uncover a long-hidden family secret.

Teenage Ada lives in New York. Her life feels dull and monotonous. Everything changes on her birthday, when she is visited by Mateusz – half-man, half-bird. He invites her to a school of magic, headed by eccentric Professor Ambroży Kleks. It turns out that her parents also attended the magical academy. The girl joins a group of talented kids from all over the world to learn how to use the power of imagination. Unfortunately, the school gets attacked by a band of grim wolf-like creatures, who are hunting down Mateusz. What do they want from him? Will Ada protect her new school and her new friends?
