Resumen del Editor
#1 New York Times best-selling author Pat Wrede returns to Scholastic with an amazing new trilogy about the use of magic in the wild, wild west.
Eff was born a thirteenth child. Her twin brother, Lan, is the seventh son of a seventh son. This means he's supposed to possess amazing talent - and she's supposed to bring only bad things to her family and her town. Undeterred, her family moves to the frontier, where her father will be a professor of magic at a school perilously close to the magical divide that separates settlers from the beasts of the wild.
With wit and wonder, Patricia Wrede creates an alternate history of westward expansion that will delight fans of both J. K. Rowling and Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Historia
Kayla is just an ordinary girl . . . or so she thinks. When a day at the state fair is interrupted by the news that she’s the daughter of a “Dark Lord,” she and her family are quickly whisked to another world—one that’s chock-full of magic but lacking in technology! As her family encounters fantastical creatures in place of their Earthly gadgets, Kayla must prepare for the unpreparable: meeting her father, the Dark Lord himself, for the very first time. All Kayla wants is to go home, but she must learn magic to do so.

Historia
Take one bored princess. Make her the seventh daughter in a very proper royal family. Have her run away. Add one powerful, fascinating, dangerous dragon. Princess Cimerone has never met anyone (or anything) like the dragon Kazul. But then, she's never met a witch, a jinn, a death-dealing talking bird or a stone prince either. Princess Cimerone ran away to find some excitement. She's found plenty.

If 14-year-old Cassandra Reed makes it through her first day at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies without anyone discovering her secret, maybe, just maybe, she’ll let herself believe that she really does belong at Miss Castwell’s. Except Cassandra Reed’s real name is Sarah Smith and up until now, she lived her whole life in the Warren, serving a magical family, the Winters, as all non-magical “Snipes” are bound by magical Guardian law to do. That is, until one day, Sarah accidentally levitates Mrs. Winter’s favorite vase in the parlor....

Historia
A dance club full of bodies. Cause of death - a mystery. The lone survivor - a man, raving like a lunatic, wearing only a deerstalker hat. Now, the man who calls himself Sherman Holmes is being studied like a lab rat by a top-secret government agency. How is it he can be barely clinging to reality one minute - yet be a seeming genius the next? Within his brain might just be the greatest scientific breakthrough of the millennium, if anyone can figure out how to access it. Enter the agent code named Watson.

Hooked from the Start
Any additional comments?
Immediately after finishing this book I bought the second in the series. Then the third. This is the kind of book I would stay up late to listen to.

13, Can you imagine being born with it?
There is a superstition in being the 13th anything so imagine for a moment that you are the 13th in a group of children. You would be pre-judged, already behind the eight ball from the very beginning.
Add a magical world to this, add people moving to untamed areas to settle in a world full of magic. Imagine adding another faction, a group of people who refuse to live using magic. How would you survive here? What is it like to be a pioneer in the West as a magical or a non-magical person? What would school be like?
You are about to embark on a journey that will delight young teens, old teens and adults alike. From the first chapter of this book, I was pulled in and held tight by the story read by Amanda Ronconi.
Pull up a chair, stop what you are doing and listen. I promise you aren't going to want to stop until the story stops and the last words of the book thanking your for your Audible purchase play in your ears.

Just couldn’t do it.
Maybe if I could have gotten further into the book I would have a different opinion. I fell asleep went back to listen again and decided it just wasn’t anything that would be worth staying awake. First book I have tried from this author.

Disappointing history lesson.
I expected more. This is more of a history lesson with a fantastical twist than it is an actual magical fantasy. Character development was great, but there just wasn’t enough action. It’s basically 20 hours of backstory. Additionally, with all the beasts introduced in the novel, the final battle was with … beatles? Again, I’m sorely disappointed - I truly expected more.

History, Magic, Teens, & Not An Inkling of Romance
First of all, Thirteenth Child's lack of romance is extremely refreshing. There are a lot of YA series out there with strong female leads, and there's almost always a romance in there... but not here. Maybe in the later books.
Eff isn't unique in her tomboy-ish characteristics; that's a familiar trope in modern YA literature, but she's more Laura Ingalls or Jo March than Katniss Everdeen. She's remarkably normal for a world full of magic - then again, this is a world where magic is seen as a given, and its the Revisionists (affirmed non-magic users) are seen as radical.
Wrede writes a world that makes no bones about life with magic being easier, and finds suitable, unexpected consequences for that magic. Magic in Columbia isn't opposite of nature, it's an instrinic part of it - and as our environment adapts and changes with our use of it, so the magic does in Eff's world.
Amanda Ronconi is a fine narrator, and I liked what she did with Eff's character and did adore the voices she chose for the men - particularly Wash, a character who appears about 2/3 of the way through the book. I don't know if it was a specific choice on her part, but she made Eff and Lan's voice relatively similar (they're twins!) and I liked that. Otherwise, the narration was a little slow, but it suited the tone of the story.
Overall, the plot isn't particularly surprising or exciting, but it's a solid tale with good world creation, and fleshed-out characters. I was able to stop and start listening with relative ease... I think it took me about two weeks to go through it, listening for a few hours every couple of days. It was easy to fall back into the story, and Amanda Ronconi helped with that familiarity a lot.

Frontier diary of a magical child
Any additional comments?
The book "reads" like a diary, like Laura Ingals diary from Little House on the Prairie had Laura been born to a magical family. It is easy paced and somewhat sedate but pleasant enough to play while I am sewing.

Slow in places but ended making me want more!
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
Yes, it's a bit wordy. Reminds me at times of Eragon in details but it ends well and I was excited to start the next book
Which character – as performed by Amanda Ronconi – was your favorite?
Eff was my favorite. She showed her vunerability and braveness
Do you think Thirteenth Child needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, there are two more in the series

Disappointing
Where does Thirteenth Child rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It wasn't my favorite, but it was a far cry from my least favorite.
Any additional comments?
I was actually pretty bored, and had to force myself to focus on the story. I think this is a book better left read by the junior high crowd.

Overall: enjoyable
A bit slow, but really interesting, I think this sets up more a more exciting story. TBC.. once I get through the next book.
Wasn't a huge fan of the narrator, I didn't think her accent fit the book well, and she was a bit dry for my taste, but that's just personal preference. I was still able to get through the entire book.

Very Refreshing story
I truly appreciate this writer but sometimes the store got a little to slow. Hope to hear more in the future.
