Summary: Abby Carnelia is average in evey way. Or so she
thinks... One day she's cutting up hardboiled eggs for a salad
and tugs on her ears. The egg begins to spin on the table!
Abby is shocked. She begins to experiment, but finds that is
the only power she has. Desperate to find out more she
enrolls in a magic camp- and ends up having the adventure
of a lifetime!
Rating: Surprisingly this book was REALLY good. It's a 4.

Opinion: I love Abby. She's so real! At one point she says,
"Okay,gimme the egg." When her freind asks why she
replies, "It's my lunch!" The other main character, Ben is
well done, but I thought the charcter developement of
Ricky and Eliza could have used some work. (Ricky more
so than Eliza.) The book was very fun though, and I
couldn't put it down. Plus it has a very good message at
the end, which otherwise would have been lacking.
