Synopsis:
In Abby’s world, magic isn’t anything special: it’s a part
of everyday life. So when Abby learns that she has zero magical abilities,
she’s branded an "Ord"—ordinary, bad luck, and quite possibly a
danger to society. The outlook for kids like Abby isn’t bright. Many are cast
out by their families, while others are sold to treasure hunters (ordinary kids
are impervious to spells and enchantments). Luckily for Abby, her family
enrolls her in a school that teaches ordinary kids how to get around in a
magical world. But with treasure-hunting kidnappers and carnivorous goblins
lurking around every corner, Abby’s biggest problem may not be learning how to
be ordinary—it’s whether or not she’s going to survive the school year!

My Thoughts
Discover a world where being
normal means being different.
This was an imaginative and
fun new read that had me hooked from the very first page. The story was very
descriptive and really made you feel as if you were a part of it. There are
tons of new characters that will have you both laughing and worried. It is
almost impossible not to get engrossed in this enchanting new world the author
weaved.
Abby goes through many of the
same situations that young kids go through even though her world is a bit
different. She is still learning about whom she is and how to fit in so I
believe a lot of readers will be able to relate to her just like I did.
Ordinary Magic is a great new
read that children and adults alike are sure to love.
