Quotes

Praise for Wandmaker:



Winner of the Fall 2016 Parents' Choice FunStuff Award



"Masessa delivers a fast-paced, entertaining tale filled with humor and magical action, playfully referencing (and toying with) tropes popularized by Harry Potter (Voldemort never suffered half of the indignities that are perpetrated on Dai She, and Dumbledore never flew coach across the Atlantic). This is a clever, twisty story with plenty of potential for future installments." --Publishers Weekly
