Running away from his abusive uncle, Nick stumbles upon Evil Wizard
Books, and its crusty proprietor. Could the old man really be a wizard?
Nick doubts it -- until the evil wizard declares Nick his apprentice and
enchants him so that he can't leave the property. Nick is sure that
Smallbone doesn't mean to teach him any magic -- but maybe he's stubborn
enough to learn on his own...
This is an enjoyable read for fans
of children's fantasy. It's quirky, with hints of darkness, but not
anything that will be too scary or upsetting for sensitive readers. I
enjoyed it, but didn't find it so compelling that I couldn't put it
down. I think it would be a good, cozy wintertime read.
