This was a Hoopla Bonus Borrow, so I gave it a listen. I have no doubt that many kids will love it. It's a very formulaic book with horrible adults (every adult is horrible until the Seer school), an abusive sibling, bullies, a mysterious inventor, a mysterious secret magic/science school, a chosen one, a sudden crush, and a world-ending threat. It didn't feel very creative, though I did love the part with the Pearl, and the science feeling.
