Review by Zach L.
Who would like this book? Male or female readers, grade 6 or 7, who like magic, history, and frontier life would like this book.
The goods on this book: This story follows Eff, a thirteenth child. In this world, numbers mean everything. If you’re a seventh child, you’re lucky and have more magic than normal, but if you’re a double seven like Eff and twin Lan, then you’re amazingly lucky and “are filled to the rafter with magic” as Eff would say. Sadly, Eff is a thirteenth child born to bring doom and destruction, at least that’s what her Uncle Earn tells her. Will her twin-overflowing magic and her so called “evil side” make a dangerous force or an unstoppable good?
