THE WIZARD'S DILEMMA

An excellent new addition to the "So You Want to Be a Wizard" series is splendidly performed by Christina Moore. Moore, who has read the other four books in the series as well, conveys a wonderful sense of the emotions and cares of this beloved cast of characters. A first-rate actress, she captures the power and majesty inherent in being chosen to perform magic. This latest adventure finds our heroine, Nita, in the battle of her life. Alone, she must battle the Lone Power, bringer of chaos, evil, and death, for the life of her own mother. Her old friend, Kit, has become distant, but even when he learns of her peril, it might be too late. Marvelous young adult fantasy works for all ages and could even teach Harry Potter a thing or two.
