Features: Happy in her new life as an apprentice to the powerful magician Mairelon, 16-year-old Kim is horrified when an nosy relative determines to turn Kim—a former street urchin—into... a lady! But real trouble begins when several wizards of Kim's acquaintance disappear. Then Mairelon's magic disappears! It's up to Kim to unravel the mystery. And to do that she will have to return to her old life back in the dark and dirty streets of London. The plot thickens as an attempted burglary and even more dangerous misfortunes force Kim to call upon all her street smarts and magical education. No doubt the charm, humor, and intelligence of Wrede's writing will continue to enthrall. – Publishers Weekly
