Henry has inherited the powers of his wand-making ancestors. His family lineage brings more than he bargained for, though, when his pesky sister becomes collateral damage after a spell gone awry. This entertaining, fast-paced read is occasionally marred by false attribution of "supernatural" powers (e.g., blind people can't really "smell or hear things before others can").
