This novel is part of a series, ‘Young Magic,’ directed to young reader teens and pre-teens. It is sort of a Harry Potter thing but with diversity and better-developed characters.
A diverse group of teenagers meet each other and form an unlikely bond. They are witches and wizards from different orders and battle supernatural beings in the paranormal world. They are racially and socially diverse. They have their own ideas, and each practice their own form of magic. The group includes a magician, a druid, an oracle, a Chinese TCM master, and an illusionist. It is their diversity that gives them their strength. Each of them has their unique talents and characters, yet together, they become an unstoppable force. Along with all of this, they remain normal teenagers coming of age, forging bonds, and discovering the magic of life.
The group is soon challenged by an ancient society run by a warlock from antiquity who plans to destroy the fabric of society. All other magicians lack the unity to defeat him, so it is left to the young group of teenagers to combine their powers, their wits, and their spirits to confront him.
This novel is part of a series, ‘Young Magic,’ directed to teens and young adults. It is in the genre of Harry Potter but with diversity and more interesting characters. The underlying message is that diversity is a good thing. It is set in present-day London. Race is not a major theme other than to emphasize it does not matter. We all have more in common than we have differences. It’s our differences and our diversity that give us strength and beauty. The book is free of profane language and does not deal with provocative sexual topics or inferences.
