Children of Magic
Edited by Martin H. Greenberg and Kerrie Hughes
Daw, Jun 2006, $7.99
ISBN: 0756403618
This is one of the best, if not the best, anthology of the year. Each of the seventeen tales (mostly written by women) is excellent with some like the amusing “After School Special” by Huff and “The Trade” by Patton being extraordinary. The seventeen contributions will be read more than once with this reviewer for instance having finished the book in one fabulous sitting; something that rarely happens by me with short story collections. Fans of coming of age fantasy tales will appreciate this superior compilation as readers observe the efforts of the starring youngsters learning to use their magic which make for a terrific book in many ways reminiscent of the early X-Men.
