carbonelI will admit that I'm a sucker for boarding school books, or books set in some sort of training milieu. So I took to the Harry Potter books pretty much immediately. Similarly, The Candidates by Inara Scott had that going for it.
Dancia Lewis has always sought mediocrity, because she has a wild talent (telekinesis) that she can't control. She's recruited to attend Delcroix Academy, which turns out to have a lot of other students that have different sorts of special talents. For the first time in her life, she has friends, and a place where she belongs. But it turns out that the Academy may be more sinister than it initially appears.
There's nothing terribly new in this book, but I quite enjoyed it. I looked to see if the second one was out -- it's obviously the first of a series -- but it wasn't yet. I'll try to remember to buy it, or request it from the library, when it is.
