All the stars! Please read this book! It reminds me so much of Deep Magic by Diana Wynne Jones. The magic system is super cool based on Cat's Cradle and once you've spent your magic for the day, that's it; you have to rest it like a muscle.

Robin and Edwin are so loveable and the jock/bookworm vibe they have going sends me!

I literally can't say enough nice things about this book.
