The Sight Witch
Marnie Speck has completed her first year at the Fanglewick School of Magic, but is waiting for the arrival of her witchy powers. When they fail to show, she is left wondering about the actual date of her birth and her true identity. After a tumultuous return to the Old World, Marnie and her best friend, Seb are welcomed to Mangleworm Avenue by Professor Lexi Spindlewood. Soon they discover life on Thundery Way, in the heart of Wandermere, is fraught with elfin and dragon dangers. Retreating to Fanglewick, they realise it too is under attack and unsafe.
Mage Mystilic ventures to Wandermere and leads Marnie and Seb on a wild dragon ride across a fantastic landscape to Morgansol in an attempt to trace Marnie’s parents’ final journey. To complicate life in the Old World, a new boy, the last apprentice at Blends and Fizzles, the potions and alchemy emporium, shows an unhealthy curiosity about Marnie and her newfound divination skills.

This is an enjoyable middle-grade fantasy. It continues the adventures of Marnie as she attends school on a magical world. At the school a strange beast is on the loose, a mysterious new boy rouses mistrust, and Marnie has to struggle with her unusual mathematical witchy power. In the nearby town, a dragon attack and authoritarian elves cause trouble for the citizens.
Marnie spends much of the book preoccupied with finding out more about the unusual lenses she found in her suitcase and also, not at all incidentally, about the fate of her parents. This is obviously a major arc for the series, but in this book it was not too interesting.
By the end the immediate crisis is resolved (though in a frying pan/fire sort of way) and Marnie and Seb are about to set off on a new, entirely unauthorized adventure. There are several loose ends to be tied up in future books – I am impatient to find out Will's family secret!
This series has great characters, very well-rounded, and it is interesting to see how the different kinds of magical being relate to each other. I especially love Bella, Marnie's talking cat. She says things in such vivid ways!

I loved the second book. EM Cooper gives the characters more flesh on their Bones. We find out that all witches are not created equal. and sometimes things don't always appear as they seem. I received a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
