About this ebook

The highly acclaimed first book of a fantasy adventure series set in a mysterious forest, starring a daring new hero.

"Readers will thrill to journey with Jinx" (SLJ, starred review), a wizard's apprentice, as he sets off on a quest through the dangerous Urwald, a magical forest full of wizards and were-creatures, and discovers that it is more complex than he could imagine, and that it needs him more than he could ever guess.

This humorous and smart tween fantasy adventure is perfect for fans of Septimus Heap, The Sisters Grimm, and Fablehaven.

Note: I am an adult, not a youngster, but find many Young Adult books to have excellent stories to tell, especially in the fantasy genre. I found this a nice easy read. The author tells a good story with some more complex characters than I often find in stories for young adults. The language is clear without it feeling too simplified for the age range of the demographic, and I found this encouraging. I look forward to reading more of this series to see the growth of these characters.
