A review by mamap
Thirteenth Child by Patricia C. Wrede

3.0

i really am picky about my books! i find myself impatient with writing aimed to the young adult age. i found myself less impatient with this one. a young girl who is born an unlucky 13th in a family of 14 with a twin brother who is the lucky 7th son of a 7th son. in an america filled with magic and magical animals, life did not progress the same as it did in our history books. set soon after the 'civil' war as people are pushing to settle the west.
"Eff" must overcome her own personal demons to learn and use magic as only she can. this author lets you think without getting bored.
