This review is from: Earth Magic (CD-ROM)

Acting on a dare, twelve-year-old Jenna Douglas, her older brother Cal, and her cousin Annie investigate the much-whispered about Hill House. Jenna suspected something strange goes on there, and she is determined to ferret out the house's secrets. Unexpectedly, Jenna finds herself transported to a parallel universe complete with magic, sorcerers and talking cats.

Transported to an alternative universe, Jenna meets Nigel, Master Sorcerer of Earth One, his young friend, Rob Hathaway, and Rob's adopted brother, Victor, a telepathic feline. Victor, the oversized feline who acts as Rob's guide dog, but seems to think he is human.

Jenna must find a way home, and when her cousin is inadvertently transported from earth, find her as well. Otherwise, Remus, a sorcerer from Earth Two that is another parallel universe, will gather enough magic to Cross Over into her world. Soon Jenna learns of her own ability for magic in these alternative worlds, and finds she must pit her newfound abilities against the very dangerous elements which threaten her own universe.

EARTH MAGIC is a snappy adventure certain to entertain young adults and the young at heart. Written in an irreverent, delightfully humorous tone, EARTH MAGIC transports the reader from a world of the mundane into a world of magic. Be careful when you start EARTH MAGIC, for it's a page turning adventure that's impossible to put down. This reviewer certainly hopes for a sequel to EARTH MAGIC from Paula Gorgas.
