Plum is surprised that she has been accepted to the Guardian's Academy on Lotus Island. Though reluctant to leave her grandparents, Plum really wants to learn to transform into a magical creature who helps take care of the natural world. Plum struggles with school, however, and while her classmates begin to transform, she hasn't, which means she may have to leave the school and her new friends.
While it sounded hokey at first, Plum is a great character and there's enough depth to pull the story off. This is a good fantasy novel to dive into the genre, since fantasy novels tend to be large. There is some intrigue going on that should lead nicely into a sequel. Besides, I want Plum's gift for talking to worms to find out where plants will grow the best. Since this is fantasy, who knows what races or cultures there are. The cover art has different hair and skin tones though.
