Shadows by Robin McKinley

Shadows
Enchanting, gripping, magical. This is a fun, adventuresome fantasy for young people. Seventeen year old Maggie lives in the Newworld where magic has been outlawed and destroyed. Or so they say. Maggie 's new stepfather Val, who is from the Oldworld, creeped her out because he had odd shadows surrounding him. Shadows with way too many legs and eyes. Then Casmir, a good looking guy from Oldworld shows up, and he has heard of her stepfather, magic begins happening close to her town and her giant algebra book becomes more useful than she had ever thought it would be. Large dogs and cats, a werewolf, origami, shadows and her algebra book all begin to have new meaning and change their world. Wonderful fantasy! I totally enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
