Ages 10 & up. In the spirit of Madeleine L'Engle's classic A Wrinkle in Time, this is a fascinating and powerfully involving story about two lonely kids who are inadvertently caught up in the never-ending battle between good and evil. The problems of everyday adolescent life and the mysteries of magic are perfectly blended, along with plenty of humor and suspense. In a starred review, School Library Journal wrote, "well-structured and believable... this fantasy should have wide appeal." Horn Book wrote, "a splendid, unusual fantasy... an outstanding, original work." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

But his one said, So You Want to Be a Wizard.I don't belive this, Nina thought. She shut the book and stood there holding it inher hand, confused, amazed, suspicious—and delighted. If it was a joke, it was a great one. If it wasn't?...
