EL – OPTIONAL
Maggie can’t help but sneak away to the forbidden magic repair shop. Not only does real magic take place there, but being there allows Maggie to practice and learn more about her newly discovered magical powers. Due to some unforeseen events and necessary uses of her magic in a past book, Maggie’s powers are under review. As part of that, she goes to Scotland for an evaluation of her power level, and accidentally brings her two best friends along for the ride. When they find about a terrible curse and Maggie’s speaking rabbit Hasenpfeffer is injured, they must find a way to break the curse and help out the family that lives there.
An easy to read magic fantasy featuring an incredibly face paced plot that is lighthearted and sometimes silly. (As opposed to the darker feel that many magic power books feature). There are many characters to get to know, some of whom are only mentioned in passing. My biggest complaint is the multitude of references to the first book, which I have not read. A student who had not read the first book would have trouble engaging with this second book in the series. The first book is a mandatory purchase if you intend to purchase this one.
