Fixing broken magic
I found another middle grade book in my stack. I possibly have more. One doesn't always realize where on the reading scale a book is when one enters a contest for that book. Anyway, this was actually a very interesting book.
Keynan's world is a bit different from ours. They have strange storms that pick up houses and take them away. These storms are not tornadoes that leave paths of destruction. They look and sound different from what we think of storms. Keynan has wanted to understand these storms because they disrupt his rhyming.
He has a talent for poetry. His parents want to encourage his talent, so they enrolled him at Peerless Academy. He refuses to go, until he learned he could study the storms there. So he borrows his dad's old bicycle to ride to Peerless. That's where the fun of this book starts.
There is magic in the underside of Keynan's world. Most people don't know about it because the magic is 'broken'. Keynan now knows that fixing magic is what he and his crew are supposed to do.
There will be a lot of learning before they are completely successful, shown to us in future volumes. This is but the first in a series, I suspect. I do hope so since this book ended with a bit of a cliffhanger. I find I liked this book. I'm sure you and your children will like it to.
