What first attracted me to The Young Wizards Series wasn’t the magic system, though I have to admit it is pretty amazing, but the characters. In the first book, So You Want to Be a Wizard, Kit and Nita are two teenagers who took on a great deal of responsibility without quite realizing the consequen...
Contemporry urban fantasy for kids, starring two 12-year-olds living on Long Island. Well who doesn't want to discover a book they've never seen before at the library, one that tells you all about careers in wizarding?It's a cool idea, and I really enjoyed reading it, but in some way I can't explain...
The book reminded me a lot of A Wrinkle in Time. There was a lot of ‘science’ in the book. I was surprised at how dense in made the reading.

This is one of the first fantasy books that really resonated with me. I remember reading in voraciously in my room. The thought that you could find a book that could change your perception of the world (both mine and the character's) was enlightening. If this one didn't start me on the path to Sc...
My daughter suggested I read this. It's a children's book, but very readable for adults, with some very clever ideas. I don't think I'd want to read the rest of the series, but I enjoyed it.
Ok, so I finally read Diane Duane's So You Want to be a Wizard about twenty years after I probably should have. Better late than never! It's funny, because the book recalls a lot of the other books I read around that time: Susan Cooper's The Dark is Rising, the books of Madeleine L'Engle, and even P...
