I loved this latest read. This story takes place in what seems to be modern times, but in a created world, "The Ununited Kingdoms," where magic exits. BUT...the magic is draining away and no one is quite sure why. Jennifer Strange, a 15 yr. old foundling, runs Kazam Mystical Arts Management, an employment agency for magicians. She is trying to keep them in business now that the magic is drying up. Then the prophecies start about the destruction of the last dragon. What will this mean for the world of magic and the last of the Dragons? I love the characters in this book. Jennifer is noble and brave, but also angry at what is happening. She also has a mysterious and fun/scary pet called a "quarkbeast." We see Jennifer and the Quarkbeast return in book 2 of the "Chronicles of Kazam," "The Song of the Quarkbeast." I am looking forward to taking this home over the break to read.
