The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson

The Rithmatist

by Brandon Sanderson

A killer is on the loose...Joel is fascinated by the art of Rithmatics - with its lines of power and ability to bring chalk drawings to life - but only a few have the gift and he is not one of them. When Rithmatic students from Joel's school start disappearing, he is keen to investigate. Since he's not a Rithmatist, Joel seems to be safe - but others are dying. Can he find the killer before the killer realizes just what a threat Joel really is?

Interesting story of a boy who wants to be a Rithmatist, those people who fight against creatures who appear to be determined to kill humans. He knows all the theory, he just can't do the magic. He gets caught up in trying to discover what is going on as his classmates start disappearing, what he learns will change the world.

I found it interesting and fun.
