Magic Steps by Tamora Pierce

4.0

First in a quartet that furthers the adventures of Sandry, Tris, Briar and Daja from the Circle of Magic books. Now a few years older, Sandry discovers a young boy who can create magic by dancing. Because there are no dance mages around, she must begin his training so that he can control his magic--though she tries to find him a dance teacher to work on the dancing part. This leads the two of them into a mystery surrounding a series of murders of a prominent trader family. Great use of magic to do detective work, and it's always fun to get reacquainted with these characters and the land of Tortall.
