In the good old days, magic was indispensable—it could both save a kingdom and clear a clogged drain. But now magic is fading: drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and magic carpets are used for pizza delivery. Fifteen-year-old foundling Jennifer Strange runs Kazam, an employment agency for magicians—but it’s hard to stay in business when magic is drying up. And then the visions start, predicting the death of the world’s last dragon at the hands of an unnamed Dragonslayer. If the visions are true, everything will change for Kazam—and for Jennifer. Because something is coming. Something known as . . . Big Magic.

If you like fantasy this book is for you. It is completely fiction and although lots of it is about magic, it's nothing like Harry Potter. The story is about a 15 year-old girl named Jennifer Strange who is running the Kazam Mystical Arts Management , who employ magicians, after Mr. Zambini mysteriously disappeared. Magic is a great thing except when it starts to fade and now the wizards have to use their powers carefully. But then someone at Kazam gets a vison about the last dragon who is going to be slayed and which Jennifer knows she has to save it. The book is a very fun read, where you meet various different characters all with creative names such as Tiger Prawns.
I read this book and I smiled. Jennifer Strange is fifteen and runs Kazam Mystical Arts. She has 2 pre-cogs. Which are people who can seek out the future. Both of them predict that there is going to be a dragondeath on Sunday, at noon. Maltcassion is his name. What will they do, to help stop it, and are they correct that there will be a dragondeath?
