Author Miriam Cumming casts a charming and thought-provoking spell with Namesakes, the first book in her Wicce Novel series. In this clever repurposing of a classic myth, Medusa is a young girl just coming into her stone-turning powers, who must find her place among other legendary outcasts and misfits in a magical academy. Channeling a bit of Harry Potter, there is a familiarity to the plot, but also harder-hitting themes of tolerance, bullying, and using one’s powers for good. Cumming lays an entertaining and flexible foundation for an original series with a cast of immediately engaging characters.
