I'm definitely not the audience for this book -- I didn't really enjoy reading about ten-year-old boys when I was a ten-year-old girl, and it turns out I'm still not into it at a 41 year old woman ;) But it's not a bad book, and I would happily suggest it for any Middle Grade readers out there, whether you're a kid or an adult who finds MG books cozy and fun. It's especially a good read for fans of the "magical school" sub-genre or the X-Men. The kids in this book have abilities that are more in line with superpowers than magic, but they're also divided into different "houses" like in certain popular magical schools.

The second book is coming out really soon, so now is a great time to jump in on this series if it sounds like your jam.
