rating:
MAGIC STREET, by Orson Scott Card, is a little bit Alice in Wonderland and a whole lot of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The character names are familiar; there’s Puck, Oberon, Tatania. But the main character is Mack Street, an abandoned (or maybe not) infant who grows up with certain abilities.
Mack lives in the Baldwin Hills area of L.A., and as he gets older, his life gets weirder and weirder. He finds a hidden entrance to Fairyland, and he is involved in subduing Oberon, the king of the fairies.
I really liked the weaving of Shakespeare’s characters into this story, but by the end the storyline had pretty much lost my interest.
