Fantasy

This is one of favorite books in this series. I love getting to see more of Dairine, I love the humor and excitement in the story, and I love the computer turtles! The books description of the Crossings is also one of my favorites. ( )

Nita is just starting to become comfortable with her wizardly abilities. She and her best friend Kit work carefully around their community, getting the feel for being wizards.

But Nita's canny little sister Dairine can't leave the idea of wizardry alone. Now that she knows her sister's secret, Dairine wants the power herself. Smart, abrasive, tough, and with big dreams of adventure, Dairine sneaks into Nita's room one night and reads the Oath. The next day, via the women's restroom at the space museum...she finds herself on Mars.

Whisked away on an Ordeal that is possibly even more dangerous and pivotal than Nita and Kit's, Dairine will set in motion an intergalatic race between the forces of darkness and the wizards of Earth hot on her tail; namely Nita, Kit, and a mouthy macaw named Peach.

With only an unusually sentient computer manual and her own brains and bravery to aid her, this is where Dairine steps up to take her rightful place as a wonderful, naive, brilliant character in this amazing series. ( )

I might have liked this one the best so far. Definitely the most science-fiction seeming of the series (which is definitely, solidly, in the YA fantasy category), in this book Nita and Kit have to chase after Nita’s younger sister through the galaxy and into another one. ( )

It could be better, it could be worse

I didn't like the first book much, the second was way better and now this was bad again. Would that be a patron? ( )
