Burgis, Stephanie Kat, Incorrigible, 295 p. Atheneum
(Simon), 2011. $7. Content: G.
Now that she knows she has magical powers, Kat, 12, is
determined to use them. Her sisters
seem equally determined to keep her from learning. Her eldest sister is betrothed to a thoroughly despicable
old man, in a society that sees absolutely nothing wrong with that. Kat’s new, yet to be mastered powers
may save the day, but make some enemies and imperil the family name. I wanted to love Kat, really I did, but
it just didn’t come together for me.
The ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy towards magic and the Victorian
manner-isms just grated on my nerves.
