5.0
I got this book from a Goodreads Giveaway, but I would gladly have paid for it. It's about two sisters, Even and Odd, who share their magic and are only able to use it on alternating days. Even loves magic, while Odd seems to enjoy the more mundane aspects of life in the nonmagical world. The magic in both the magical and nonmagical worlds begins to malfunction, leading the sisters, along with a unicorn named Jeremy to go check on the portal between worlds. They get stuck in the magical world and set out to solve the mystery of the malfunctioning magic that's wreaking havoc on the magic world.
I think this book is an excellent read for young readers; it highlights that anyone can be a hero and the relationship between the sisters is healthy, even though they're so different.

Even and Odd are sisters who have magic...but only on their respective days. June 10, it's Even's day, June 11, it's Odd's. Their life is pretty chill, until magic starts acting up and the girls are sent by their father to investigate and stumble upon a conspiracy that's affecting the magical world in awful ways.
Jeremy was a very hilarious unicorn and I loved reading about his antics. I think the only thing I wasn't a fan of was how similar Even and Odd's voices were, I wish they were more distinguishable in the writing style but otherwise, it was still a really fun read!
A very fun and lighthearted contemporary fantasy that'll be sure to please the middle-grade crowd. I definitely recommend this for those who enjoy Messenger's "Keepers of the Lost City" crowd since they are similar in some ways, except this is a stand-alone rather than a full-fledged series.
