Children's fantasy novel, first of a series – quite fun
Effie Truelove lives in the Realworld and discovers a lot about magic and her role in the Otherworld where magic reigns supreme. Along the way, she finds schoolmates who develop abilities and become friends. There's plenty of action and a fair amount of original ideas in this novel and lovers of children's fantasy will enjoy it. The style reminds me of the Septimus Heap books and Harry Potter fans will probably enjoy the storyline.
