Hoo boy, this is a wild ride. Deliciously scary, funny and a little sad, this is one humdinger of a story; a bit of a cross between Harry Potter and A Wrinkle in Time. It's a fascinating mixture of magic and science. I mean, how many books feature a white hole as a main character?
The core elements of the story are pretty ubiquitous for young adult fiction. You know, making friends, standing up for yourself, facing your fears, saving the world: the usual. The twist in Wizard is that the kids pretty much take care of things without adult intervention. Unless you count the 10,000-year-old white hole an adult.
This book is a shoe-in for my recommendation list. Ages 10 and up. I think even some adults will like it.
