Book I Read Recently...

I recently read a book by Tamora Peirce. It was called Tris's Book. It was about this girl who was part of a circle of 12 year old mages in like 1098. They were recently recovering from a major series of earthquakes and they got attacked by pirates. Her name of course was Tris, Trisana Chandler. Her 3 friends were almost killed.
Daja is one friend, she is a metal or smith mage. She works with fire.
Sandry is another, she can weave magic. she is nick-named the stitch-witch.
Briar is one, He is a former street-rat who works with plants.
The main character is Tris, she works with lightning and weather, she is the weather-witch. She was transferred from family to family after she was declared crazy and unwanted by her parents . They didn't know it was just because her magic had gone unnoticed for too long. She finally ended up at a mage's school called Winding Circle and met her friends listed above.

Check it out. I haven't told you anything but the back-story, so the book hasn't been completely ruined for any of you who want to read it. If you already have, tell me what you thought.
