While Nita's sister and her dad host three young alien wizards, teenage wizards Nita and Kit travel halfway across the galaxy as part of an exchange program and find themselves again caught up in the dark doings of their nemesis, the Lone Power.
I feel like this series is really hitting its stride now.
4.5 Another good title with surprisingly deep characters and a somewhat ambiguous dilemma. Could have used another twenty pages before the resolution to make it a little more suspensful, but that's about the only criticism I have. The second half of the series presents even more shades of grey than the first half, which is nice in young adult fiction. And kudos for providing shipping fodder for tree and millipede fans. I feel a lot of infinite diversity in infinite combination sentiment in this one.
Fine fun.
