Magic has been in a sad state in the Ununited Kingdom for years, but now it’s finally on the rise, and boneheaded King Snodd IV knows it. If he succeeds at his plot, the very future of magic will be at risk! Sensible sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange, acting manager of Kazam Mystical Arts Management and its unpredictable crew of sorcerers, has little chance against the king and his cronies—but there’s no way Kazam will let go of the noble powers of magic without a fight. A suspenseful, satirical story of Quarkbeasts, trolls, and wizidrical crackle!

4.0 The Song of the Quarkbeast
Reading Fforde is a weird thing for me. I'm only in it for the world-building. The voice of Jennifer Strange never actually feels like a sixteen-year-old foundling who's now running an important company on her own. But that's okay. Because there are quarkbeasts and the Ununited Kingdoms and magical ...

The pace rarely slackens and the story always marches forward.The story is full of weird, zany c...
