Review: Funny and entertaining

As someone who is no longer a YA I tend to avoid stories that are super focused on the "day in the life of a high schooler" which thankfully this story does not do.  Although Raven is a high school student and there are several scenes of her at school most of the story happens in the library (and what an exciting library it is, I wish my local library had secret passageways!)  Her ability to read things to life is interesting and I like the fact that this ability doesn't make Raven thing she is the best thing ever - I'm so sick of stories where the main character is like "gasp! you mean I have this super secret ability!?! Now I'm going to become famous!"  The twins and the other side characters (including Raven's family) are hilarious and wonderful and all add to the story in their own way.  I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy and/or humor.
