    language (, Sept. 12, 2012)
    Old West Fantasy for all ages.Did you like Harry Potter?Well, thinks about a young female wizard in the United States. Setting in the 1860, this girl is battling to find a home and is sent to a wizarding camp. Not knowing, she is a wizard. Florence “Ace” Fox is confused by the weirdness that abounds. The director is talking about strange things and insist he can cast spells. He even claims she’s possessed, and that the entity is sending her power levels off the charts. Because of her power, rebel wizards want to capture and use her to gain control of The World!! Makes one wonder about the battles going on around the country which some claim is the war between the north and the south, but is it really?Finding herself in danger, Ace and her friends’ go on the run through the old west looking for a way to rid her of the entity and lower her power levels.Challenges face the group at every turn, but they refuse to give up. Finally, they discover that only the leaders of the wizarding world can help, but will she like their solution? Jail, death, or powerless?Excerpt: I need the right words or the spell will misfire. The statement still rumbled through her thoughts along with many others. What were they talking about? Ace hadn’t asked any questions. She’d found when joining a new group she’d fair better if she kept quiet and observe until she understood more about the people. “You might say we’re in school?” Vicki lowered her voice to where Ace had to lean over the side of her cot to hear her words clearly. “What type of school?” “On how to do magic,” Vicki muttered and held out her hand. A small light glowed in the center of her palm.Ace stared at the burning flame until it faded. Excitement filtered through her blood until she remembered the last time she had tried to help a person with nothing more than herbs and incoherent chants. Darn, she wanted to believe magic existed. Oh, to be powerful and right the wrongs of the world. However, the fantasy wouldn’t happen, couldn’t happen, the world didn’t have magic. It only had people who knew how to trick others. Peddlers of fancy dreams, who knew how to steal money from unsuspecting people, then disappeared into the night. Ace didn’t want to offend anyone and decided she’d keep her opinion to herself. “Right, then I guess, I have a lot to learn.”Vicki didn’t comment, instead after a few minutes Ace could hear the other girl’s steady breathing. Unable to settle down, Ace swung her legs over the side of her cot and sat on the side. She adjusted her white, cotton gown around her legs. Her mind fought to find answers to all the questions running through her head.Did Vicki believe she was being taught magic or was Saw deceiving everyone in the camp? After all, what did a bunch of kids know? And why only recruit orphans?

Grandpa Ace has decided to begin dating again and is dining and dancing every night, against his doctor's orders. Determined to get both Aces under control, Zelly enlists the help of her two best friends, Allison and Jeremy (despite the fact that they don't quite see eye to eye). They need to come up with a plan, fast. But how? It's not like either Ace ever does what he's told.
