That's funny - i just re-read Winter of Magic's Return this last year. The author grew up with my mom around Berkeley and we got that when it came out, but somehow I didn't know there was a sequel (my mom isn't always great at keeping touch, and I think the author's a very busy woman - maybe a scientist too, I can't remember). I'm glad to hear it has one, because I really felt there needed to be more.
