Have you discovered author Anne Sage?

If you are a Harry Potter fan...and you are looking for a new series to read about witches, wizards and magic, then try the Septimus Heap series by Anne Sage. Ms. Sage is also a British author, like J.K. Rowling. The first book of the series is called "Magyk."
I loved the humor and the fun and unusual characters. What do you think?
