Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Simon Snow is the "Chosen One".  He is the magician that will save the world of magic from the Insidious Humdrum who is draining magic and leaving dead spots all over England.

Only one problem . . . he's not a very good magician.

Yes, he has power!  Lots of power!  But he doesn't have control over that power.  In fact, his main defense against the Humdrum is to "go off" and explode.

Baz, his arch nemesis and roommate at school, mocks him continuously about this.  Baz who is a vampire although no one seems to know except Simon.  Baz who didn't even bother to show up to school this year.



Rainbow Rowell previously wrote the novel Fan Girl about a character that was obsessed over a fantasy book series about Simon Snow.  This is the final story in that fictional series.  Even though it is a parody of fantasy books for teens, it is actually a great fantasy story for teens.

I would recommend this book to any fans of Rainbow Rowell's books and to those fantasy fans of Harry Potter, Charlie Bone and more.
