Magisterium: The Iron Trial


By Holly Black & Cassandra Clare

AR
RL 5.6
PTS 13.0

          All of his life, Callum Hunt has had a hurt leg and hasn't known who he is. This 12-year old boy is very different, he wants to fail the only chance he has at getting an apprenticeship at the magical school, Magisterium. All his life, his father told him to stay away from magic, but even though he gets a really bad score, he was still selected by the best mage in the school, Master Rufus. He usually feels like an outsider because of his injured leg, but he has never felt like he belonged more than at this school. He knows that he is unlike all the other apprentices, for he has a dark past, that he doesn't even know about. What is this past that will greatly affect his future? I would recommend this book to people who like action, adventure, and magic. This book will be really loved by people who like fantasy. The Magisterium is a bit like Hogwarts, although they are very different the plots and stories are still very similar. The main character will have to choose, this is a matter of life and death, you will find out that Call is. . . .

    This seems like a very interesting book and I'm definitely going to look into it. It contains elements of mystery and adventure which I think all readers can enjoy. The main character seems lime he is trying it find himself throughout the story. I think that everyone can relate to this at some point in their life and this is what makes us enjoy characters like Callum.

  2. This seems like a book that I would like. Dark, fantasy and action. I like books like The Percy Jackson series and the heroes of Olympus. These are based on mythology and magic. Did you get this book from a library or did you buy it online?
