Not out of the Ordinary

Nothing to read since you finished all the Harry Potter books? I highly recommend Ordinary Magic by Caitlen Rubino-Bradway.  Imagine a world of magic where Ords (ordinary magic-less people) are discriminated against, even bought and sold. Imagine a quirky magical family (like the Weasleys).  Then imagine that twelve year old Abigail Hale, the beloved youngest daughter, turns out to have no magical ability at all! She is immediately labeled an Ord. The neighbors and her classmates will no longer talk to her.  Her teacher insists she leave school.  Luckily King Steve has recently proclaimed that children can no longer be bought and sold and a school for ords has been established.  Maybe Abby can learn how to manage her lack of magic while escaping kidnapper treasure hunters and hungry Ord eating goblins.  This was really an exciting book.  I hope it is the start of a new series.  I recommend for kids in grades four on up.
