When Annabel Grey’s mother disappears from Victorian London,
Annabel is sent to live with two aunts that are in Annabel’s eyes, well, a bit
weird. Living in their magic shop brings new challenges upon her life.
Especially when she finds out she has to learn to control the “Moreover” wand
in order to fight the growing evil that threatens to destroy all good magic in
the world. This book had a bit of a slow start, but, then, just took off,
becoming exciting, fun, and captivating.
This book was an interesting contrast to most books with
magic in them. It was a version of Harry Potter, but with a girl and more old
fashioned because it takes place in Victorian England … sorry, no Hogwarts,
just a magic shop. I really liked
it and would recommend it to everyone that takes a liking to magical books and
who can put up with a little violence. The vivid description of the characters
and places meant that I could imagine what was happening very well.
