Wild Magic by: Tamora Pierce

Readability: 3 Pretty easy.

Teachability: 3 This is more of a independent reading book. As much as I would like to teach it, it has little academic merit.(Suggested grade level: 8 and up. See Post on Lioness Rampant)

Did I like it: Yes. I liked it for the same reasons I liked Lioness Rampant. It has a strong female character and I really like that.

Summary: Veralidaine can communicate with animals. For the most part, they are the only living things she talks to, until she gets a job moving horses to Tortall with Onua. Soon Daine finds herself immersed in a world of Riders in training (boys and girls) and magic. She also finds herself spending a lot of time with a mage, Numair who is convinced that her "knack with animals" is more than just a talent, but magic.

Suggested for: Girls. Its kind of a "femmy" book.
