Buggy Crenshaw and the Bungler's ParadoxR.M. Wilburn
Life is anything but normal when your name is June "Buggy" Crenshaw. After her dad, a carpenter and self proclaimed "inventor", blows up their garage during a time travel experiment, Buggy and her family move to Lloyd's Hollow - a town that does not exist on any map. But when Buggy arrives, she discovers a world of magic, mystery, and confusion inside of this isolated little town.
With the help of her new friends, Buggy discovers that their world is close to the apocalypse. Using her new magic and her friends, Buggy will have to talk to a swamp witch, stop the apocalypse, and defeat one of the five most powerful demons of all time. Do you believe Buggy Crenshaw can save the world? She does - it is what she was born to do.
This book was a nice change from the usual humdrum magic books. R.M. Wilburn has developed Buggy's world extremely well; the characters were believable and the book made me feel like I was in the story.
The bad news: there were some problems. The first couple of chapters were a little confusing, and I had to go back and reread to understand what was going on. Besides that, a very good book, one I could read again and again.
The Bungler's Paradox or The Book of Names?: Although both books have magic wielding characters, The Bungler's Paradox focuses a little too much on the line of good versus evil. I would have to pick The Book of Names.
Rating: 8.5/10, for the little bit of confusion in the first few chapters.
