| Beautiful cover! |
Sarah and Jon (twins, with Jon just a couple minutes older)
were expecting a boring summer visiting their grandparents in Wales. But after hitting
a large creature with the car, and passing the same TwoSpells sign multiple
times while feeling like they’re lost, everything starts to seem a bit out of
the ordinary.
Upon arrival at their grandparents’ home, their mother
disappears on a mysterious errand, and the twins are left to do their
grandparents bidding around the farm. In the evening, though, they’re delighted
to listen to stories of their supposedly magical heritage, things they’d never
known about, since they were raised far away as ‘Regular’ non-magical people.
The story really gets moving when they finally visit the
legendary TwoSpells library with their grandparents. There is indeed a magical
battle, as their grandparents told them about. The library is the middle of a
family battle in which the twins are critical players, even though they never
knew til days before. They suddenly have to learn how to use their magical
library cards to travel in and out of stories, as well as how to fight
creatures they’ve never seen or heard of before. Luckily they have the help of
manufactured Golems, a couple of library Guardians, and even their mother as a
magical being they’ve never witnessed.
TwoSpells, the first book by author Mark Morrison, is a
great mystical read of a classic good vs evil struggle. There’s so much more to
find out in books still to come! I’d give this book 3.5 out of 5 stars, and
recommend it for middle-grade readers who enjoy fantasy.
