I have included the Japanese cover because it is awesome.
The first book in The Circle of Magic quartet, it introduces us to four powerful young wizards mages. Sandry's Book has always seemed to me the weakest of the first quartet, as Sandry is the most personally annoying character in these books and the plot occasionally comes across as slightly forced. However despite my personal misgivings this is a good book in its own right and in no way should be skipped.
The main characters are four ten-year old children named Sandry, Tris, Daja, and Briar. Tamora Pierce sometimes seems to forget the part where the main characters are ten, as she usually writes characters at least in their late teens. The books, which take place in a completely different universe than Tortall and all of Tammy's other books, also break her usual modus operandi by adding a male protagonist to her list of overwhelmingly female characters.
As I don't want to completely review the book without rereading it yet, I fear I must bid you a farewell, abrupt as it may be. i should be done with the first few chapter's review soon. See you then!
