When Nita’s 10 year old sister Dareen discovers she’s a wizard – her manual is a new laptop computer – Nita and Kit have to go after her to keep her from getting in too much trouble. Again, Duane has written an excellent book with shades of the book of Genesis.

Trickier, because the action splits between Nina and Kit (as usual) and Dairine. The “gee whiz” of computers is fun (and amusing from today’s point of view).

There’s some friction early on, when the author’s establishing Dairine’s independent point of view—there’s some duplication of events and the like, but it works out. The ending, even given the repeated pattern, still managed to suprise me.
