YA Sci-fi/Fantasy Alchemist??? in Name that Book (augustus 2010)

Besprekingen

Seventeen year-old Roland has stolen something from a shop. He was driven by a very strong compulsion. His English teacher blackmails him with this and orders him to befriend the nerdy Jess Ferret. His motives and the motives off the elusive magician Quando are unclear. Roland meanwhile is more and intrigued by Jess and the odd happenings aroud her. More and more occult things happen as time goes past. In the end Jess and Roland have to face Quando.

Original, but not that special.
