From the best-selling author of Leven Thumps comes a new adventure-filled series about a boy, a robotic-talking raven, and a wizard for hire. Obert Skye’s upcoming book Wizard for Hire officially released March 6th and it is a great book for youth ages 9-14.
My husband read the book, and thought it was great for kids, He didn’t love it as much as kids, but he said that kids would really enjoy the book! He said, “Wizard For Hire is a great book for those younger readers looking for a good Adventure. They will enjoy unpredictable twists and turns that seem to pop up out of nowhere.”
Fourteen-year-old Ozzy is desperate to find his parents, but he’s not so sure about that ad…. He’s read about wizards in books like Harry Potter, but they couldn’t actually exist in the world today, could they?
Enter Labyrinth, aka “Rin,” who dresses the part. Sort of. His bathrobe and high-top tennis shoes seem unorthodox. At least Rin acts like a wizard, but Ozzy has his doubts. Do real wizards write notes on their shoes and eat breakfast for every meal? Most of all, Ozzy wants to know if Rin can cast any magic spells.
With the help of a robotic-talking raven invented by Ozzy’s father, a kind and curious girl at school who decides to help Ozzy, and, of course, a self-proclaimed wizard who may or may not have a magical wand, Ozzy begins an unforgettable quest that will lead him closer to the answers he seeks about his missing parents.
