Content: PG.
Sixteen year old Lucy has
lived alone with her caretaker, Norrie, on an island for seven years—ever since
their ship sank and killed her mother.
At least that is what Lucy has always believed. One night Lucy hears singing on the wind, and
although Lucy has been taught to never sing, she gives in to the singing and Lucy
and Norrie are transported to London. Lucy
quickly finds out that she is a Chantress-a type of witch that sings spells. London is under a tyrant’s rule, and Lucy
could free the city if she can learn how to use her magic.
This is a great new series that has a fast-paced
adventure and an interesting storyline.
Lucy’s magic feels believable and her character is fun to follow. This book is easy to recommend because it is
clean, has a great story and characters and the cover will draw middle school
readers of fantasy. Good stuff!
