Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

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.


From Publishers Weekly

As two young wizards embark on a mission to preserve the universe they encounter an eerie version of Manhattan. Ages 10-up.
Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars one of the best books ive ever read, Nov 2 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: So You Want to Be a Wizard (Mass Market Paperback)
this book was suggested to me by the owner of the store and for the longest time i let it sit on my self. i was so happy when i started reading it and i couldn't put it down. i ended up reading the whole series in two weeks. my favorite one was a wizard aboard but this one is still great because it introduced me to the series. if you didn't read it yet i suggest that you do better than harry potter. and i love harry potter.

5.0 out of 5 stars So you want to be a wizard, Jul 9 2004
This review is from: So You Want to Be a Wizard (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is great and really magical. It's about these two kids who discover a whole new world then the one they know. My kids enjoyed Harry Potter, and this book is just as good, but it shows this different magic. A magic that is more usuall unlike the one in Harry Potter. We really enjoyed this book, and all the other in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars very happy it was recommended to me..., Jul 3 2004
By M. Cookson (Colorado Springs) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: So You Want to Be a Wizard (Hardcover)
My mom recommeded this series to me a while ago, and I'm glad she did. I'm reading the series a bit out of order, but I'm still enjoying it. This is the first book in the series. It begins with Nita, a thirteen-year-old girl who has the misfortune of being beat up a lot by a bully. While hiding in the library, Nita comes across a book called _So You Want To Be a Wizard_. The book gets her on the road to becoming a wizard. In the process, she meets Kit, another young wizard-in-training. There are probably other people who've explained the book better than I ever could, so I'm not going to bother. I really enjoyed this book, because all the characters and their magic seemed so real to me. Also, the author designed some of her world's "rules" with people like me in mind: early on, Nita reads that one good sign of a potential wizard is that the person can't go to sleep without reading something first. Since this book was enough to make me wish magic were real, those lines made me smile. Hey, I can dream, can't I? I highly recommend this series and book to everyone, young and old.
