Quadehar the Sorcerer (Book of the Stars)
Translated from the french this kids book is a good read with well-developed characters and left me wanting more
Robin Penmarch lives on the lost Isle, where they know about our world and about the Uncertain World but try to keep away from both.
Magic works in this world and Robin finds that he has skills in this area. When his school bully is kidnapped mistakenly for him, he feels he needs to rescue her.
