I have been encouraging my 10 year old to read this book since someone told me it was like Harry Potter, and she loves Harry Potter. She was dragging her feet, so I decided to read it first.
It's similar to Harry Potter in that there is a boy and he has a magical ability and end up at a boarding school. That's really about it, though. The magic is different and so is the school. The book is also written at a lower reading level than Harry Potter. I think a kid who has read all of HP might find this a little childish, but it is about the right level for 8-10 maybe?
The story itself was interesting and I was able to move past the younger level writing in order to find out what happened next. Things are a bit obvious and just laid out there for the reader, as they usually are in this level of reading, but the plot was solid enough. I'm not sure I'll read the second book unless my kid finally decides to give this one a go.
