King, Carol Shadow Spell, 308 p. Simon, 2010.
$7. Content: G.
The Drift is dying and only Nin and her
friends can save it. In order to
do so, they must find the reclusive, elusive Simeon Dark – the only sorcerer
who might have enough power to stop Arafin Strood’s evil designs. But Dark is hidden so cunningly, it
will take all their smarts and their bravery to save the other world.
This is pretty heroic stuff, but it
won’t create the same buzz as Harry Potter and friends. I can’t put my finger on it exactly,
but it may actually be too smart for most kids. It is well worth it for bustling libraries that check out
large amounts of fantasy.
