I was given this book in return for an honest review.  Katy is a young lady whose mother died and Katy now lives in the streets, dodging child protective services. On her birthday she finds a letter lying on the ground with her name on it. Thus her adventure begins. The letter is from Bridgett's school for Magical Arts, she is a witch and is to wait for someone to come to her, and then she will be attending the school. Of course, she scoffs at the idea until Antonio Jr. shows up to take her to get all of her magical school supplies. He becomes her friend and ally as well as Gaivan. Once at the school, Katy finds out that the magic is centered around the magical elements (earth, wind, air, and fire) Her mother's element was earth, her father's was air and her's for some unknown reason is fire. She is shunned by the other students and Gaivan remains her best friend. She has some investigating to do, she finds out that she has a father and a brother that she never knew exhisted, she can use all of the elements, she is under attack, and someone is hiding things from her.  I enjoyed this book, I am a Harry Potter fanatic and this book has a similar feel to it, so I was immediately drawn into the story. This is her first book in this series and although it needed a little more editing, I can certainly overlook that in light of the fact that I enjoyed the story so much. In the end, isn't the story the most important part of the book? Looking forward to part 2. WaAr
