Magic Below Stairs by Caroline Stevermer
3.0
A cute and quick story about an orphan who becomes a servant who ends up having magical abilities.
There's really nothing more to it than what's on the tin, and it's only loosely a part of the "Cecelia and Kate stories". Definitely written for younger stories, and I did find Frederick and Billy Bly sweet and charming, and Bess was a fun character. I would've liked to see a bit more development to Lord Schofield, though I suppose that happens more in the other books - though I can't say I recall the characters from the original trilogy particularly well, to be honest.
Anyway - short, sweet book and I think younger children, especially, would like it.
