A fantastic start to a fantasy series for the younger middle grade reader set--I loved it! If anything I wanted more, so I'm glad that the second book is out already. Fast paced, no words are wasted. The story and world building just keep pushing forward from moment one. Also a great twist on the idea of "magic school". Would appeal to anyone who enjoys magic school fantasy books. -SKB
