The Overview: Fourteen-year-old Ozzy lives near Portland, Oregon, and is desperate for help. His scientist parents have been kidnapped after discovering a formula that enables mind control. Their work was so top secret Ozzy is afraid to go to the police, but without help, he fears he’ll never find his parents. Then he stumbles across a classified ad in the local newspaper that says “Wizard for Hire. Call 555-SPEL.” Ozzy has read about wizards in books like Harry Potter, but wizards couldn’t actually exist today, could they? After Ozzy meets the wizard Labyrinth–aka Rin–he’s even more skeptical. -Goodreads
Nik’s Notes:
That interesting cover has my immediate attention (Shadow Mountain always has the coolest covers)! I read the first few of Skye’s Leven Thumps series several years ago and thought it was a cool middle grade series. I’m looking forward to picking this one up to amuse my inner 10 yr old self. It doesn’t look to be part of a series (based on the info I have at the moment), will which means I can pick it up without messing up my incomplete series challenge. #win
This looks fun! I wish my little sisters were in to reading because I would get this for them in a heartbeat.

I think so too! I feel the same way about my little bro – there are so many books I’d know he’d love if only he wanted to read haha.

Isn’t that Dresden’s byline, “Wizard for hire”?

Yes indeed… and it’s also the name of one of the Dresden omnibuses (omnibi?). If he wears a duster and has a cat, I’m calling foul.

Cool! Thanks for sharing this news, Niki. I love Obert Skye. Read all the Leven Thumps books years ago and now I have a new perspective on sidewalk cracks ever since.
I’m excited to read his new book!
