5 magical
stars!
This
is a delightful YA fantasy story involving a young lady with magical abilities
and a magic school where she finds herself belonging. This book feels reminiscent of Harry Potter,
in all the right ways.
Book
Blurb:
“In
Croswald, the only thing more powerful than dark magic is one secret…
For sixteen years Ivy Lovely has been hidden behind an enchanted boundary that
separates the mundane from the magical. When Ivy crosses the border, her powers
awaken. Curiosity leads her crashing through a series of adventures at the
Halls of Ivy, a school where students learn to master their magical blood and
the power of Croswald’s mysterious gems. When Ivy’s magic––and her life––is
threatened by the Dark Queen, she scrambles to unearth her history and save
Croswald before the truth is swept away forever.”
Young
Ivy Lovely, care-taker of scaldrons (cute dragons that provide fire for cooking
food for a castle) is content enough with her lot in life, though she secretly
wishes for more. She shows talent for
remembering her dreams, a photographic memory, and being able to perfectly sketch
what she sees; all of these traits of magic-wielders called Scrivenists. When a series of events leads her and the
smallest scaldron in her care to a cab floating in the sky and whisks them away
to magic school, it’s more than Ivy could have ever dreamt of.
Perfect
for fans of ‘Harry Potter’!
