This was a delightful young adult novel and a great introduction to a new series and world. The main character is an "unlucky" thirteenth child. Eff. Her family moves out to the American frontier to give her a chance to grow up without stigma. The story follows Eff from childhood till she is eighteen. I say the American frontier, but this is a alternate universe that only bears a slight resemblance to ours. There is magic for one and magical creatures like Dragons, and apparently the South won the Civil War... there are other differences but you get the idea. I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series.
Rating: 5 stars
Recommendations: Patricia Wrede has written a lot of young adult novels. I really enjoyed Dealing With Dragons and that whole series. The next book in the Frontier Magic series is Beyond the Great Barrier.
344 pages took me about 2 hours
