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) “A gripping and dynamic fantasy . . . Fans of the author will flock to this new adventure, which likely will bring new readers to the series.”—VOYA Praise for the Young Wizards series “Duane is tops in the high adventure business . . . This rollicking yarn will delight readers.”—Publishers Weekly “High Wizardry is . . . high entertainment.”—Locus “Recommend this series to young teens who devour books about magic and wizards . . . or kids looking for ‘Harry Potter’ read-alikes.”—School Library Journal “Stands between the works of Diana Wynne Jones . . . and Madeleine L’Engle . . . An outstanding, original work.”—The Horn Book

The adoptive sisters--Princess Luanne and Heatheria Winchester--celebrate the end of the year with three new adventures revolving around Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. "Seasons of the Dolorian Wizards" tells of three stories that sum up their favorite holidays with an adventure each for Samhain (the Celtic name for Halloween), the Ritual of Return (Thanksgiving in our world), and Noel (the French name for Christmas). In "A Samhain To Remember," the sisters--with Queen Melissa and a Winchester matriarch's spirit in tow--must defeat the Queen of the Underworld before she can exact her revenge upon creation by destroying all the immortals of the universe. "The Ritual of Return" reminds Heatheria of all the good she and Luanne have done up to this point when all the people whose lives they've changed arrive at the Palace of Melania for a holiday dinner party. And then, the climactic finish to the year culminates with "It Nearly Wasn't Noel," when Luanne and Heatheria must journey to the North Pole to convince Senticles (Santa Claus to the kids of the world) that there is still room for giving on this joyous occasion, or else he plans to cancel it forever. With a story for every season of the end of the year, "Seasons of the Dolorian Wizards" is a treasure you'll want to enjoy this year-end and every year-end in the near future.

“One of finest current writers of speculative fiction pays loving homage to its Golden Age in this ninth title in the Young Wizards series.” —Kirkus Reviews In the hotly anticipated ninth installment of the Young Wizards series, Kit Rodriguez and Nita Callahan become part of an elite team investigating the mysterious “message in a bottle,” which holds the first clues to the secrets of the long-lost inhabitants of Mars. But not even wizardry can help them cope with the strange events that unfold when the “bottle” is uncorked and a life form from another era emerges. Though the Martians seem friendly, they have a plan that could change the shape of more than one world. As the shadow of interplanetary war stretches over both worlds, Kit and Nita must fight to master the strange and ancient synergy binding them to Mars and its last inhabitants. If they don’t succeed, the history that left Mars lifeless will repeat itself on Earth. Praise for the Young Wizards series “Duane is tops in the high adventure business . . .
