Year of the Griffin

Year of the Griffin by Diana Wynne Jones

This story resonates greatly with many university students. Some universities and high schools do constantly ask donations from students' families without considering their financial or social situations.

Ms. Jones also shows humorously how even the slightest actions have consequences. For example, when creating ward spells to protect Felim from assassins, Elda and her friends create a pentacle of books around him and Ruskin keeps dropping orange peel around the runes. It results in an assassin falling into a pit of orange juice instead of a pit of water and whenever Felim is in danger "a cocoon of books" (described as a 'black beehive') surrounds him.
