About this ebook
“Molly Harper’s Changeling is masterful fantasy—a spunky Cinderella story with a heroine who’s equal parts compassion, determination, and pure magical delight.” —Rachel Vincent, author of the Soul Screamers series and The Stars Never Rise, on Changeling
Days away from completing her first year at Miss Castwell’s Institute for the Magical Instruction of Young Ladies, Changeling-born Sarah Smith might just get away with posing as an upper-class Guardian girl named Cassandra Reed.
But strange visions of a Lightbourne destroyed by Miss Morton’s revenant army keep Sarah from enjoying her achievement. Plus, the Mother Book, Sarah’s one secret advantage and the ultimate entrée in Guardian society, suddenly stops revealing itself to her…putting her in a precarious position with the Guild. On top of all that, her former lady’s maid left Miss Castwell’s, and the new hire is, well, taking some getting used to.
If it weren’t for her two best friends, Alicia McCray and Ivy Cowel, who will do anything to protect her secret, Sarah doesn’t know if she’ll make it another year. When the three girls take summer holiday with Alicia’s family (chaperoned by an exacting and very disapproving Mrs. McCray), a relaxing vacation in Scotland is the last thing they’ll find.
Mrs. Winter is thrilled that Sarah is spending time with the influential McCray family, but Sarah can’t help but feel that her real purpose is to find other Changeling children like her, and free them to realize their own magic. Can she find genuine satisfaction in her accomplishments when she knows there are others like her out there who need her help? Will the three girls uncover the deeply-held secrets they’re looking for in the mysterious mountains of Scotland? Will the Mother Book finally start talking to her again? And will Sarah come to understand the importance of her connection with Ivy and Alicia, and the true nature of her own power…before it’s too late?
“Witty and classic, Changeling had everything I wanted from a coming of age story: friendship, scandal, and a heroine learning to flex her magical muscles. If you liked Harry Potter, you will love CHANGELING!” —Kristen Simmons, critically acclaimed author of the Article 5 series, on Changeling

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book doesn't miss a step in terms of putting the reader right back in the story. Sarah grows, finds love, courage and new spells, thanks to the Book. Some characters turn out not to be who she thought they were, many others become so much more..friends, supporters, like a new family that gives her courage and a sense of belonging It wraps up nicely, but there are enough possibilities remaining for a dandy book three.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the second book in the Sorcery and Society series. This has been a cute historical fantasy series set in an alternate Victorian world. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one in the series. There is a lot of fun magic and some neat spells in here. I enjoyed the alternate world and the fun lighthearted banter between friends. I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was very well done. Ronconi always does an amazing job with narration and this book continues that trend.Cassandra/Sarah is settling in to her new school and her position as the Translator. However the Mother Book is getting impatient with her and wants Cassandra/Sarah to seek out and help other Changelings like herself. Cassandra/Sarah is getting tired of all the lying and wants to come clean with her own origins and then move on from school to do what’s actually important...helping other Changelings.This is a very fun and lighthearted read. I loved that this book had more adventure than the first one. I also really enjoy all the magic in here and the close friendships that Sarah has with Alicia and Ivy. Sarah’s romance with the forward-thinking Gavin in also very sweet. Overall I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I would recommend to those who enjoy cute lighthearted historical fantasy stories that never get too dire. This is a fun read with magic, intrigue, adventure, and a bit of light romance. I plan on continuing the series.
