The Daring of Della Dupree by Natasha Lowe

Della Dupree is training to become a witch.  She goes to school for it and has no real problem until they are all asked to write a paper about the founder of the school.  Who just happens to be named the same as she is...

Paula Wiseman Books and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you).  It will be published May 21st.

She sees a reference to a spell book, so she goes to the library to look it over.  It doesn't tell her what she'd like to know.  Then she remembers one of her teachers coming back into a room like magic.  She had used a time travel necklace to visit her dog when he was just a puppy.  (He has passed away.)  She decides to go way back to the 1200's to visit the beginning of the school.  She sneaks a necklace, takes her wand and away we go...

She ends up on the ground in the forest.  It doesn't take her long to find out these people hated witches.  It seems the school hasn't started yet.  She goes to get a job at the castle.  She gets one as a housekeeper/kitchen crew.  She has to hide her magic or she will get in trouble.Then the comedian, Tom Foolery steals her necklace and refuses to give it back.  Will she ever get home again?

This was a very good read and I enjoyed it.  It even has a nice ending.  What more could you want?
