INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Foxlee, Karen

A Most Magical Girl

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Elly MacKay. Annabel's mother removes her from young ladies' school, sets her up assisting her great-aunts' magic shop, and disappears. But tears diminish as Annabel takes up her role as "Valiant Defender of Good Magic," destined to retrieve a wand that will vanquish an evil threatening London. Despite its conventional good-vs.-evil scenario, this quest fantasy is memorable for its vivid imagery and stylish prose.
