SOLVED. Children's/YA, fantasy, magic, "clearwater"? Series with 2 or 3 books. Simple front covers, one bright aqua the other purple, each with a white silhouette of the main character (a girl). She goes to magic school? [s]

I found and read this book in my primary school's library about 9-11 years ago, so definitely aimed for children. Probably was published in the 2000's.

The front cover is what I remember most, the girl was a flat silhouette completely coloured white and was either running or riding a skateboard or scooter. The picture might have also included the outline of her fairy/pixie friend. Besides that picture and the title and author, the cover was a solid colour. For some reason I remember the word "clearwater" which may have been part of the author's name or the title of one of the books, but I can't say for sure this is true. I think the author was male.

I don't remember much of the plot but I think it was about a young girl who discovered she was magical and had to attend a school to learn about her magic? Set in our world I think, and the school was hidden or in some other reality. Like in the cover, I think she made a fairy or pixie friend who may have been the reason she learned about the school. Overall I think it was a fun and light-hearted read, perhaps with a quest-like plot, or the girl had to help solve some mystery...?

Ashley, can we eliminate Glimmerglass by Jenna Black?

Can you describe the girl's powers and how she used them? How did she discover her powers? (Spoilers are okay - just give us a clear warning before revealing a spoiler.)

Do her parents/family also have magical powers?

How old is the girl?
