Kenning Magic, a new novel by Lizzie Ross, tells the story of Noni, who
lives in a world where everyone, including infants, can cast magical
spells. Everyone, that is, but Noni herself. But she alone can read; she
ha
s what her late mother called the
‘Old Knowing’, and this ability is a secret Noni must keep from
everyone, including her best friend, Twig.
When magicians from an enemy country steal everyone’s Magic, Noni knows
that she is the only one who can help save them. She must use the ‘Old
Knowing’ to find the Book of Spells. Only the Book will enable her
countrymen to re-learn Magic and have a fighting chance. Meanwhile,
dragons have escaped from the ‘Hold’ and are burning dwellings and
eating anything that moves. The enemy mages have learned of the Book of
Spells and are also searching for it. Noni, with Twig at her side, must
use her wits and whatever luck that crosses her path to reach the Book
before it’s too late.
