When I belatedly discovered that one of my favorite authors,
Jasper Fforde, had written a Young Adult series I immediately rushed out and
got both entries. The books, The Last Dragonslayer and The Song of the Quarkbeast follow the adventures of Jenny Strange (a foundling) as she attempts to run
Kazam Mystical Arts Management. Kazam
Mystical Arts Management is a business that manages the activities of a number
of magic users in a world where (at least initially) magic is gradually
declining. Jenny deals with
obstreperous employees, dastardly big business interests, egoistical
government, & more as she strives to keep the business afloat and make the
world a better place. The books are
interesting, engaging, entrancing, etc.
I would heartily recommend them.
