Mica Powers and the Legend of the Superstitions is a children's fantasy novel by MSV Walker. Mica Powers is already thirteen years old, but his powers as a Spinical have yet to show. He is still haunted by the memories of when his mother was taken away from him by the leader of the Dreads, Deedra. Alongside his friends, the twins Kevin and Kelly, Mica attends the Domain Arizona School of Spinical Studies, where youngsters learn to manifest and use their Imperia. Estee Bradford, an orphan, is the new girl in school, and Mica discovers he and Estee are the only two Wildcards in their class. Meanwhile, the Dreads are searching for a powerful weapon, and Mica is the only one who can stop them. How will Mica and his friends fare against a face-off with the Dreads?

Filled with magic, mystery, and intrigue, Mica Powers and the Legend of the Superstitions is an action-packed fantasy ride you don't want to end. If you're a fan of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, this book will be right up your alley. Author MSV Walker has built a wondrous and imaginative fantasy world featuring a magic system that is distinctly authentic and intriguing. Walker provides bits and pieces of lore about the world organically throughout the story, and it makes the setting very immersive for the reader. The characters are likable and easy to root for. Mica, Estee, the twins, and Moonshadow were my favorite characters of the bunch. I also thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between Mica and his friends and their humorous interactions. In conclusion, I heartily recommend this book to both preteen and young adult readers.
