Synopsis

A novel “filled with very credible teen angst, morality, and an intriguing blend of science fiction and fantasy” from the author of A Wizard Abroad (School Library Journal).Still recovering from an overly eventful vacation in Ireland, teenage wizard Nita Callahan is looking forward to some peace and quiet in her suburban New York home. Instead, her close friend Kit seems to be acting a little weird, and Nita keeps running into problems for which wizardry either isn’t the answer or else it’s the wrong one. How do you fix what can’t be fixed? Only the Transcendent Pig knows, and it’s not telling. But Nita needs to find out—and soon. Her wizardly partnership with Kit starts to fall apart. Much worse, her mother gets sick … so sick she may never leave the hospital. Only one person can help Nita—the One she’s devoted her life to fighting.“Powerful and satisfying.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Finally, finally, I am moving past #4 in the Young Wizards series, and this was a hell of a way to re-enter the fray. It was like being slammed in the face with a block of solid AMAZING.

I will forever be glad I was warned of the subject matter of this particular book in the series in advance, in as spoiler-less a way as possible. It didn't ruin the book for me, and I don't think it made it hit less hard either. The title of this book is truly fitting. When you struggle to find any w......more

In this one, Nita's mother has cancer and Nita has a dilemma -- try to cure her mother and ultimately fail, or make a deal with the Lone Power, cure her mother and lose her wizardry forever. Except it's not that simple. It never is. For one, everyone knows that if you make a deal with the devil, look......more
