Lackey, Mercedes and Rosemary Edghill Legacies (Shadow Grail #1), 308 p. Tor, JULY 2010. $18.99. Language: PG (5 swears). After the rest of her family died in a terrible car accident, Spirit White was taken in by the very selective Oakhurst Academy, which her parents had appointed as her guardians. Think Dr. Xavier’s academy in X-men and you are right on target. But with a super secret academy for budding heroes of all sorts, there must also be an enemy. Something is taking any students dumb enough to go outside the wards – and Spirit and her friends know that someone on the inside is helping them. While its not the best Mercedes Lackey I have ever read, it is certainly well-suited for its audience – YA who want a lot of action in their fantasy. Obviously there will be more to come. MS, HS – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library Teacher
