Synopsis
Magic is in the air, and the streets are filled with people celebrating Gemini City’s rebirth after the Great Fire. That is, until their revelry is interrupted by the arrival of the Norters. Shocked and scared, the Spire wizards challenge Aargh’s leadership, looking for answers (and, more importantly, someone to blame). However, Aargh, who must deal with problems of his own, is nowhere to be found! Determined to locate him, Holly-Mine sets out into the night, facing the dangers of the world alone. Captive aboard the Marauders’ ship, Aargh struggles to regain his magical powers. When all seems lost, help comes from an unlikely place. With the aid of his new familiar, Aargh rediscovers his magical powers only to learn how dire the situation is. Aargh’s wizarding skill has only begun to be tested, and no one, least of all Aargh, knows if he will be up to the task! AGE AND GRADE RANGE: Although classified as YA Fantasy, the Wizard's Diary is enjoyed by readers of all ages (middle grades to adult). The books are fast-paced and filled with an array of characters from epic heroes to dangerous and deceptive villains. WHAT ARE REVIEWERS SAYING? Bradshaw weaves an absorbing young adult fantasy yarn that sparks with an adventurous spirit... If you're a fan of movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean, you're going to love The Sword Guildebrande. Author Robert J. Bradshaw weaves an absorbing young adult fantasy yarn that sparks with an adventurous spirit, making it a blast to read. The plot moves quickly, taking unexpected twists and turns that keep you thoroughly engaged. The characters are vividly described and full of life. Their colorful personalities burst from the pages and keep you entertained until the end. Aargh, Holly-Mine, and Bram were my favorite characters from the bunch. Despite being the second installment of The Wizard's Diary Series, The Sword Guildebrande also functions as a standalone novel. I would highly recommend it to young adult fantasy
