About this ebook
A mysterious library book opens the door to a world of magic and danger in the first book in the beloved Young Wizards series.
Bullied by her classmates, Nita Callahan is miserable at school. So when she finds a mysterious book in the library that promises her the chance to become a wizard, she jumps at the opportunity to escape her unhappy reality. But taking the Wizard's Oath is no easy thing, and Nita soon finds herself paired with fellow wizard-in-training Kit Rodriguez on a dangerous mission. The only way to become a full wizard is to face the Lone Power, the being that created death and is the mortal enemy of all wizards. As Nita and Kit battle their way through a deadly alternate version of New York controlled by the Lone Power, they must rely on each other and their newfound wizarding skills to survive--and save the world from the Lone One's grasp.

Fifteen years before the first Harry Potter book was published, the story of Nita and Kit and their discovery that they had magical powers was published. I liked it then, and I still like it today!

I read this series as a kid and have to say that these are not your typical kids books. They are aimed at much younger audience than I think will appreciate them. For one, they're pretty dark. The problems the kids face are a little more serious and a little too real for comfort. The setting in which they happen is more sci-fi than fantasy at times and introduces science concepts like entropy and computer programming. I've enjoyed these books but I've always felt emotionally exhausted at the end.
