The Shape-Shifter's Curse / Amanda Marrone / 232 pages / Irish/Scottish Challenge
Magic Repair Shop book 2 Maggie and her friends journey to Scotland via magic mirror so that Sir Roderick Lachlan can perform Maggie's official Magical Abilities Test at his castle, dark Craig Castle on the Orkney Islands. Maggie's magic came as a surprise to her. Her parents aren't magical. Her gram is. Maggie's wishes come ture, but "with Maggie's luck it's only a matter of time before something happens, probably something bad." A bit predictable, but a good introduction to several creatures of Scottish folklore, i.e. selkies and shape-shifters. There's even a rabbit named Hasenpfeffer.
