I was eagerly anticipating this next book in Debora Geary's "A Modern Witch" series and while I enjoyed it, it wasn't my favorite.  I found Beth very hard to like but in the end, I did respect her.  Perhaps this is because until now, I never had a good understanding of Asperger's. Ms. Geary did an excellent job of giving us a peak into the mind of someone with autism. I now have a clearer awareness of the challenges my daughter's "aspie" friend faces every day.  But I didn't find the joy that I usually do when I get a peek into Witch Central. I did though, love the way Debora gave Shay a prominent role that didn't involve magic.  I guess not every book can be filled with huge magic.  Exploring human frailties is often more thought-provoking.  Can't wait for the next book!
