Written by J.A. White
The story’s set on an island colonized by a religious sect that preaches hard work and obsessively persecutes magic, which it sees not only in witchcraft but in even expressing a wish. It tells of a 12 year old girl who struggles with strange powers and how to use them ethically.
This book reinforces strong positive values by incorporating good and evil traits. I think kids who can handle darker material would really enjoy this magical adventure.
