Thirteen-year-old Nita, tormented by a gang of bullies because she won't fight back, finds the help she needs in a library book on wizardry which guides her into another dimension.
sandstone78: The particular blend of science fiction, fantasy, and modern day life, the personal and the epic, feels similar in both of these series and universes to me.
This is one of my all time favorite series, hands down. I first read this book (in audio cassette form) back when I was about the same age as the main characters. The concepts and story are engaging and wonderfully described, and the book is scary, funny, and insightful in turn. I love the characters, who after so long are very vividly alive in my head, and dont think I will ever get tired of this book. This series is absolutely worth checking out.
Note on the Millennium edition ebook; I thought the updates and changes made to the series made sense, but it was weird to read a book I know so well with changes in. There were quite a few typos in my copy as well, which I found a bit annoying. Happy to finally have these books available on my kindle though, and hope the updates make the books more relatable to a new generation of readers. ( )
This book failed to pull me in, but the it was entertaining enough. I don't know if it was the author's writing style, world building or character development (I did like Fred, though!) that left me disenchanted. Nor do I think I'm really in the target audience. ( )

By necessity every book must have at least one flaw; a misprint, a missing page, one imperfection.... the Rabbis... point out that even in the holiest of books, the scroll resting inside the Ark, the Name of Names is inscribed in code so that no one might say it out loud, and chance to pronounce properly the Word that once divided the waters from the waters and the day from the night.... As it is, some books, nearly perfect, are known to become transparent when opened under the influence of the proper constellation, when the full moon rests in place. Then it is not uncommon for a man to become lost in a single letter, or to hear a voice rise up from the silent page; and then only one imperfect letter, one missing page, can bring him back to the land where a book, once opened, may still be closed, can permit him to pull up the covers around his head and smile once before he falls asleep. —Midrashim, by Howard Schwartz
I have been a word in a book. —"The Song of Taliesin" in The Black Book of Caemarthen

"Part of the problem," Nita thought as she tore desperately down Rose Avenue, "is that I just can't keep my mouth shut."
