Magic Lessons (Magic or Madness)

Fifteen-year-old Reason Cansino has learned the painful truth that she— like her mother, grandmother, and new friends Tom and Jay-Tee—must make a choice: to use the magic that lives in her blood and die young, or refuse to use the magic and lose her mind. Now a new threat leaves Reason stranded alone in New York City, struggling to control a power she barely understands. But could the danger she faces also hold the key to saving her life?

Magic Lessons is the stunning follow-up to Larbalestier’s lavishly praised debut novel, Magic or Madness, called a "radiant gem" and a "fierce, hypnotic novel" in starred reviews.
