Though not as long, and therefore as satisfying, as most of the original series, this is every bit as exciting and inventive. The Potter's middle child, Albus Severus, feels alienated from his father and attempts to go back in time to right a wrong with grievous results. The theme of this is very adult having to do with the pitfalls of raising children, and shows that J. K. Rowling hasn't got an handle on it yet, either. But, who has? It is an interesting look at the tribulations of father/ son (parent/child) relationships.
I am now about to start When Day Breaks by Mary Jane Clark. It says it is the tenth of the Key News books, but I've only read 8, not in order, and two come after this book...
