Frontier Magic series: book 1
Eff has grown up her whole life knowing that as the 13th child in her family that she will turn out bad and end up cursing her family. She's fine with that as long as her twin brother Lan, the seventh son of a seventh son, fulfills his role as the lucky, powerful wizard. To escape the persecution of her extended family, her parents move her and the youngest children to the frontier where her father will be a college professor of magic. And this works for a while -- until a plague of grubs strikes just outside of the magical barrier destroying all their crops. Now it is up to Eff, Lan, their friend William, and her father to determine what the grubs are and how to stop them.
I really enjoyed this first book in the Frontier Magic series. Although most of the book is setup for the grub problem in the last third of the book, it doesn't feel contrived or boring. Instead, you get a really good feeling for the characterization and setting of the story. I'm looking forward to reading the other books in the series.
