(4) YA Worldweavers series. In a society where everyone has magic, fourteen-year-old Thea--the seventh child of two seventh children--has none, gravely disappointing her family. Throughout the course of the story, she travels the spirit lands, learns not to whine, and saves the world. The book suffers from some cumbersome pacing, but occasional flashes of humor perk things up. Thea's quest for self-actualization is believable.
