4/5
What girl hasn't had a crush on a young attractive teacher. Now what if that teacher just happened to be a teacher of magic. Surely this is not just going to be a normal class. This delightful YA novel has a fantastically relatable main character and the magic is both familiar and phenomenal without being extreme. In many places I had the thoughts of "hey I remember those!" as well as "oh it would be so cool to be able to do that" (hint: this one relates to books). This book just whisks you right along, though I do feel the middle bit drags juuuust a bit long. Though that may have been skill on the authors part because just as I was getting to "okay this part can be over now" within pages, it ended. This is a book about people not magic but with enough magic to flourish in the imagination.
