Book Review: Wormwood Abbey

Title: Wormwood Abbey

Author: Christina Baehr

Date: 2023

Quote: "You couldn't sell Wormwood Abbey. You don't own it. The abbey owns us."

The quaint laws of Victorian England make Edith's father the heir to the house called Wormwood Abbey while Gwendolyn and her siblings are still living there. Edith's father proposes to sell the old place, but Gwendolyn wants to stay there, though she doesn't seem to like the place. To understand why Edith has to find out the secret of Wormwood Abbey.

The secret is that "worm" comes from the old word for dragon, and "wood" from "ward" or keeper. Edith was born with a special mutation, which people in our real world used to believe in, that makes her an Hereditary Dragon Keeper. 

But that's not all. There are some adventures; there will be more for the young people to do. This is the first novel in a five-book series. Those who enjoy historical dragon stories will want to read all five.
