Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-7-- Ben-Muzzy is a second-class junior wizard who miscasts a spell and finds himself transported from his own magical world into this more earthly one. Twins Gemma and Joel discover him and try to help him home; since the wizard cannot get any of his spells right, the three have several misadventures before finally finding Ben-Muzzy's home. There is plenty of adventure along the way, most of it more comical than suspenseful. None of the main characters are especially memorable, but their escapades are lively and amusing, and the black-and-white drawings adequately convey the story's humor. The plot is easy to follow, with the magical elements smoothly interwoven. This appealing light fantasy is a good choice for readers new to the genre, although Yolen's Wizard's Hall (HBJ, 1991) and Alexander's Wizard in the Tree (Dutton, 1974) are equally accessible and more involving. --Steven Engelfried, Alameda County Library, CA

From AudioFile
Second-class Junior Wizard Ben-Muzzy gets muddled in his magic and lands in the middle of adventures as enticing as Gulliver's. Seeking to make a magic circle, Ben-Muzzy teams up with twins Joel and Gemma. The three bumble through several hair-raising escapes from ogres, witches and the like. Brian Cant's reading of this rollicking adventure story is nothing short of wonderful. He portrays Ben-Muzzy's embarrassment at magic gone wrong with the same finesse as Gemma's disappointment. Cant's reading is well-paced and clearly enunciated without being tedious. He endows each character with a voice that perfectly matches the listener's visualization down to the last Grand High Wizard. L.S. An AUDIOFILE Earphones Award winner (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
