Simon's second year at School of the Ages doesn't begin so well. He's still dealing with the aftermath (sorry, no spoilers) of what happened during his first year, their first field trip ends badly (and that's putting it mildly) and to top it all off, he and his study partner, Goldberry, have been assigned to help an autistic student control his magic. To make matters worse, Simon feels like his mother is watching his every move.Matt Posner has a talent for writing kids well. His characters are unique and well rounded, and the imaginary world he has created feels real. In this book, he also includes quotes from Lewis Carroll that not only tie into the chapters they introduce but also fit in later as Simon and his friends venture into Wonderland. I do believe Charles Dodgson would be impressed with the twists and turns Posner has brought to life.
