BOOK: Sabriel by Garth Nix

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@SATURN.PLANET.NET>]

Sabriel
by Garth Nix
    This is a first rate fantasy about two kingdoms, one of magic and
forces of evil and another more like our world.  The main character
is a female necomancer (someone who goes back and forth between the
different levels of death help people.)  While it seems strange to
say, this is a high fantasy which has many aspects of more realistic
fiction.  There is a good strong female main character for those
looking for that.  I picked up this 491 page book at our book fair.
It is a solid read - for good 7th graders and  up.
