When the old woman died, she left each of her grandchildren something very special. For Kirby, the gift of dance. For Brendon, the gift of music. And for Nancy, the most extraordinary gift of all... the gift of magic.


A good, but fairly run-of-the-mill YA. I liked it well enough, and there was a bit more substance to it than I originally thought. Most importantly, I thought it stayed true to its own universe, and the ending wasn't as rushed as can often happen in YA books from that time.

I did think the epilogue was a tad on the twee side though.
