Jinx

Jinx by Sage Blackwood, 360 pages


Jinx was saved from being abandoned in the woods and taken in by Simon, a wizard.  Although Jinx has been taught that wizards are evil, especially the Bonemaster, he doesn’t believe that Simon is very evil.  Jinx has always had the ability to see what people are really feeling, even when what they say doesn’t match their thoughts and Simon’s thoughts and feelings always seem basically good.  The longer Jinx stays the more interested in magic he becomes, until Simon begins to teach him a little bit.  Everything goes well until the day that Simon preforms some magic on Jinx and suddenly Jinx can no longer see people’s feelings.  Angry at Simon and feeling defiant, Jinx starts making decisions that could end tragically, for him and for others.  This was a really good magic story and I would recommend it especially for kids that like fairy tales.
