This book was specially requested by a library patron, and I’m so glad he thought to tell us about it. Dave Luckett’s first book of the Rhianna Chronicles is sure to delight fans of fantasy, or anyone looking for a great book to read this summer.
Rhianna Wildwood lives in a world filled with magic. Nearly everyone uses magic for everyday chores, like cleaning or farming and every child in the village attends school to learn magic. Rhianna, however, is the worst student in school. Every spell she does goes wrong. Then, a real wizard comes to town and discovers that Rhianna isn’t bad with magic – the trouble is, she’s too good. She’s the most powerful wizard the world has ever seen – and her power may get her into trouble.
This short book reminded me both of Ella Enchanted, with its fun, spunky heroine, and of the Harry Potter series, with its magic school and everyday use of magic. My only complaint is thatI wanted the book to be longer so I could read more about Rhianna and her adventures. I hope Mr. Luckett writes many more books in this series, because I can’t wait to read more.
