Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Cassie

This is the first in eight (so far) of the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane. A girl called Nita who is bullied by people at school goes into her local library for refuge and there she finds something that will change her life forever..... a book. But not just any book, this is a book that could make her..... a wizard! It sounds fantastical and highly unreal but Nita takes "the Oath". Wizardry, though is not what some books would have you believe. A flick of a wand and pow! Magic!

Not quite :D It turns out that wizardry is a lot more difficult and entails a lot of hard work. Not to say wizards don't have fun! When Nita is trying out her new found powers she meets a boy who is also a wizard, Christopher Rodriguez but call him Kit. Now as the manual detailed in the introduction before becoming a proper wizard you must undertake an ordeal of sorts. I want to say more but I'm afraid I'll give to much away.

Interested? Then read the series, they're great!!
