Sorcery & Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer

Sorcery & Cecelia, or, The Enchanted Chocolate Pot by Patricia C. Wrede & Caroline Stevermer - 320 pages

Cecelia and Kate, cousins and best friends, have been separated for the summer when Kate goes to London to come out in Society.  Both think the summer will be exceedingly dull without the other there.  However, that's before Kate is nearly killed by an evil wizard trying to capture another wizard and before Cecelia meets the lovely Dorothea who is being used as a pawn by her mother to ensnare all the men around her.  Working together while separated is difficult, but the will find a way to save themselves and their new friends.
I really enjoyed this story.  I wasn't sure I would since it is written entirely in letters between the two girls.  However, it was an interesting way to see the story play out.  It would appeal to teens who enjoy fantasy, adventure, mystery, or romance.
