Wizard for Hire
by Obert Skye
Shadow Mountain, 2018, Intermediate Fiction, 400 p.
Ozzy's parents are both PhD scientists.  When Ozzy is seven they move abruptly from New York City to a secluded cabin in Oregon.  Then a few months later, men dressed in green come and take Ozzy's parents away.  Ozzy survives on his own for seven more years with the help of a AI raven left behind by his parents.  Finally a desire to find out what happened to his parents drives Ozzy back to civilization and to Rin, a self-proclaimed wizard.  Ozzy keeps expecting Rin to pull out a magic wand and solve all of his problems.  That doesn't happen, but step by step Ozzy and Rin uncover clues to what happened to Ozzy's family.

Here is another funny and exciting series by the author of Leven Thumps. Ozzy is an endearing character, and readers will wonder and debate along with him whether Rin is a real wizard or not.  There is something here for everyone; mystery, comedy, some awesome car chases, and even a little romance.  This is a great choice for fans of Harry Potter, and the Janitors series.
