An unobjectionable children's fantasy about a girl who's failing out of magic school, but then finds out that it wasn't because she was stupid and untalented, but rather because she was *too* talented. I don't think it's really the right message to send to most children. Most of them don't fail because they're "too smart" for what they're doing. The book was nice, though. ( )

In my opinion, this is one of the best juvenile fantasy series to come out recently. They are funny and just right for the 8-12 age group. My only complaint is that they are too short! Rhianna is a below- average magic student suddenly diagnosed as a wild- magic worker and must learn to use her power in a completely different way than anyone else (which is why she is flunking out of school in the first place). Her abilities lead her into both trouble and adventure. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0439411874, Paperback)

Rhianna is failing out of magic school. She's rather clumsy, even though she tries real hard. After she causes her biggest mess ever, a wizard appears with some astonishing news - Rhianna's magic is, in fact, stronger than anyone else's. She's a Wild Talent, which means that she possesses a pure form of magic that is full of power and energy. The hitch? Well, it's very hard to control the wild magic. And it tends to suck up all the other magic around it. So when a dragon comes to town, it's up to Rhianna to save the day . . . if she can.
