I didnвЂ™t bother telling Miss Possibelf that my summer meals are served on disposable plates and that I eat with plastic cutlery (forks and spoons, never knives). вЂњThen use your magic for household chores,вЂќ she said. вЂњI only ever wear one button,вЂќ I told her, then blushed when she looked down at my jeans. вЂњSpell your buttons and laces closed,вЂќ Miss Possibelf suggested.

I could cast a Hurry up on the train, but thatвЂ™s a chancy spell at the best of times, and my first few spells of the school year are always especially dicey.

Once IвЂ™m settled on the train, I try to sleep with my bag in my lap and my feet propped up on the seat across from me-but a man a few rows back wonвЂ™t stop watching me. I get to the bus station, then eat a mint Aero while I wait for my first bus. The way the fire consumed it from the inside out, like a cigarette burn eating a piece of paper.) Surely you can manage a long walk and a few buses.вЂќ But the next year, he told me I could make it to Watford on my own. The Mage fetched me for school himself the first time, when I was 11.

Paste's 50 Best Fantasy Books of the 21st Century list Nice things people are saying about Carry On. It has just as much kissing and talking as you'd expect from a Rainbow Rowell novel - but far, far more monsters. Baz would be having a field day with all this, if he were here-itвЂ™s their last year at the Watford School of Magicks, and SimonвЂ™s infuriating nemesis didnвЂ™t even bother to show up.Д¬arry OnВ is a ghost story, a love story, and a mystery. His mentorвЂ™s avoiding him, his girlfriend broke up with him, and thereвЂ™s a magic-eating monster running around wearing SimonвЂ™s face. Half the time, Simon canвЂ™t even make his wand work, and the other half, he sets something on fire. And Baz might be evil and a vampire and a complete git, but heвЂ™s probably right.
