DESCRIPTION:
Interesting twist The title character is not the protagonist, in a fascinating twist. The story is really that of two magical children, learning to deal with their respective talents in a school for special children. We would all have wished to live at such a free school, where children are respected and loved! Mercedes Lackey always brings in different cultures, diff. "Good in general, but with some reservations. And I like Mercedes Lackey novels." according to V. J. Douglas. I liked the book in general, especially the addition of the non-Elemental wizards, but I had some definite problems given the other books in the series. Given Lord Alderscroft's experiences in this one, it doesn't make sense for him to have refused female members. I don't want to give away spoilers, but you do have to suspend a little more disbelief . Too many words wasted repeating information about the Harton School A fined story idea.

Interestingly drawn characters hold our attention to the end, even if the good ones are very, very good, and the bad are full-blown villains. Sarah Jane's parents, missionary healers in Africa, send the 12-year-old to Harton, and she is happy there, especially after she befriends Nan, a street urchin. Frieda Murray
Those we trust tell us that you can….”And it was true, for the Harton School was far from ordinary. The letter that introduced twelve-year-old Sarah Jane Lyon-White to Isabelle Harton, who ran the Harton School in central London, seemed quite simple and straightforward. That meant she would also see Lord David Alderscroft, the man she had once loved, but who had inexplicably chilled toward her and broken her heart long ago—for he was the leader of the city’s Elemental Masters, the man who was now called the Wizard of London.. For Sarah was that rarest of magicians: a true medium, and for some reason, a powerful Elemental Master wanted her dead.Isabelle knew that to protect her ward she would have to seek help from the Elemental Masters of the city.
