Magyk by Angie SageMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Several students recommended this, so it became a necessary read. The story is of a princess, found in the snow by Silas Heap, and taken home to be the daughter in a family of six wizard sons. There were actually seven sons, but Septimus Heap, the baby supposedly died, and was whisked away by the midwife. Jenna, the princess, lives happily with her "family" for 10 years, but has been discovered to be the princess. DomDaniel, an evil wizard, is determined to destroy the princess and take over as ruler. There is plenty of magyk (magic) in this first novel by Angie Sage. It is understandable why this has been such a favorite. It is a long novel, and could have used a little more editing, but definitely one to recommend to our middle schoolers.
