Always happy to find a BookCrossing book in the wild, especially at an event I started seeding with BookCrossing books from the very first gathering! This book looks like fun-- I have a friend in constant search for books for her boys, so will pass this on to her after I've read it. Hope you got lots of catches with your releases!

There's something about the seventh son of a seventh son that grabs my attention, which is just what this book did, lying in a huddle (or would that be a chapter) of books set out for others to pick up at a recent fantasy con I attended. Apparently this is the start of a series, and had the misfortune to come out during the craze involving another boy wizard, thus got kind of buried. But it's got charm of its own, and some lovely characters. (I admit to being thrown a couple of times when locations/descriptions distinctly our own world slipped in there (Roman, Sargasso Sea, etc) I'd assumed another world, or an alternate one, so it knocked the flow back a peg for me.) I also liked that this was not necessarily a story about a boy, or about a girl, but about several different young folk finding their truths and their paths.

Will pass this on to a friend who has kids in the target age range.

Passing this on to someone I hope will like it. If not, I'll still love her! That's what sisters do. (And hope the boys like it, too. Aunties look out for nephews!) Mailing in the next day or so, depending on when workmen and relatives arrive. If they arrive at an inconvenient time, will mail next week.
