A good novel with many of the expected magic elements in a fresh mix. A young boy, mother missing, is being bullied at school. When his injuries require a hospital his father insists upon taking Zachary to a rather unique clinic in another city. It seems he requires a magic practitioner for his healing due to inherited magic. But trouble follows since the family has been in hiding from all the other magical beings for reasons that I won't mention so that the book won't be spoiled.  Zachary's father is abducted and Zachary is sent to stay with an unusual guardian. But Zachary also makes a good friend of a boy in the neighborhood. A Cinderella element enters the picture, also a girl, a bully, a gnome, a porkasus, and a magic answering machine. To find out how these varied elements fit together read this entertaining book.
