Book Review: Middle School Magic: The Kindling

The Middle School Magic series by Braden Bell has to be, in my opinion, one of the greatest book series ever written. It is about three teens, Conner Dell, Lexa Dell, and Melanie Stephens, who attend Marion Academy in Nashville, Tennessee. There, they experience Kindling, a magical event in which their powers explode out of them. After they are sent to detention, they get caught up in a battle with Light and Dark, their teachers for Light, and the malicious Stalker for Dark. The teachers end up winning, but the Stalker escapes. Their music teacher, Dr. Timberi, tells them they are part of a society of people who use the Light to fight the Dark. The teachers are there to protect the kids and teach them of Lightcraft, and to become Magi, people who use the Light. So, next time your teacher assigns you an insane amount of homework, remember that they might be magical! Later, they find out that one of the strongest Magi has been kidnapped for some unknown purpose. Will they finish their training? What is the Darkhands's (people who use the Darkness) plan? Will they be attacked? I refuse to spoil the ending, so read the book to find out.
