SORCERY & CECELIA OR THE ENCHANTED CHOCOLATE POT: Patricia Wrede & Caroline Stevermer: Harcourt: Young Adult: 320 pagesA great deal is happening in London this season.
For starters, there's the witch who tried to poison Kate at Sir Hilary's induction into the Royal College of Wizards. (Since when does hot chocolate burn a hole straight through one's dress?!)
Then there's Dorothea. Is it a spell that's made her the toast of the town--or could it possibly have something to do with the charm-bag under Oliver's bed?
And speaking of Oliver, just how long can Cecelia and Kate make excuses for him? Ever since he was turned into a tree, he hasn't bothered to tell anyone where he is!
The girls might think it all a magical nightmare . . . if only they weren't having so much fun.
This book is sort of a Jane Austen meets Harry Potter novel. It was slow in the beginning, but by the end I was excited to see how it would all turn out. I would recommend this book to readers that enjoy historical fiction or the regency period, although it may be a little too slow for someone who enjoyed the pace Harry Potter.
