Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough

Once a Witch is pleasantly surprising. The characters and plot are well thought out and developed. This is the best YA book, I've read about witches. The main character is strong, likable and witty. All the characters complement one another perfectly, which in trun makes for a strong, enjoyable story. This story is vivid and enchanting. I am anxiously awaiting --- the next book witch will be out this August.

Grade: A 

Synopsis [B&N] Tamsin Greene comes from a long line of witches, and she was supposed to be one of the most Talented among them. But Tamsin's magic never showed up. Now seventeen, Tamsin attends boarding school in Manhattan, far from her family. But when a handsome young professor mistakes her for her very Talented sister, Tamsin agrees to find a lost family heirloom for him. The search—and the stranger—will prove to be more sinister than they first appeared, ultimately sending Tamsin on a treasure hunt through time that will unlock the secret of her true identity, unearth the sins of her family, and unleash a power so vengeful that it could destroy them all.
