Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Young wizards Nita and Kit face their most terrifying challenge yet: Nita's little sister, Dairine. Not only is Dairine far too smart for a ten-year-old, she also has recenlty become a wizard, and worse yet, a wizard with almost limitless power. When Dairine's computerized wizard's manual glibly sends her off on her novice adventure--her Ordeal--Kit and Nita end up chasing her across the galaxy, trying to catch up with Dairine before she gets into trouble so deep that not even her brains can resuce her.

Synopsis:

The first three novels in Diane Duane's Young Wizards series are now available in digest size that are ideal for middle grade fans of all things magical.

High Wizardry, by Diane Duane has an amazing plot and character development. I just finished reading it today, and am itching to read more of the book series. I loved the little turtle like mini computers that Dairine spends most of the book with. Detailed descriptions of Dairine, Nita, and Kits' otherworldly experiences thrilled me as I read to the very end without stopping. Read this novel, and you won't regret it!
