Clever and original children's fantasy.This story of a reluctant witch in a land where Magic works and a Non from the neighboring land where Science works, as they work out their destinies, is not sappy or sentimental or trite. It is clever and matter-of-fact with moments of sheer terror, and a demon-goblin named Ordure. I loved it 20 years ago when I read it, and I still love it now.

I can't bear a book that lacks internal consistancy. Caryl is a powerful telekinetic until they arrive at the Rightway Community, and somehow, not explained, she needs protected. Until that point, brother Carson has always had to control her vicious behaviors.

Tossed.

A funny, strange little book about a human family who has a son who turns out to be a griffin.
