The Wizard Heir

The Wizard Heir

By Cinda Williams Chima

The Wizard Heir is about a boy named Seph McCauley who is an orphan with a very strange ability that he has been wondering about since he was a kid. He was adopted by an old lady that has taught him how to control it. Now, teenager Seph’s foster mother has died and an incident has occurred at a bar and one of his best friends might have been lost for life. His guardian finds a kind of a camp for him to go to for the year. It turns out that he finds people just like him but different at the same time. He finds a couple of new friends that are unlike him, but when his friend tries to help him get out of the place, the headmaster, who has the same gift as Seph murders his friend. The headmaster shows how vile he could be if Seph doesn’t agree on a very dangerous deal. Seph knows that he can’t e-mail his guardian from the computer in his room so he sneaks into the headmaster’s files and sends out an S.O.S to his guardian. Unfortunately, Seph gets no response from his guardian for a month until the headmaster finds his zip drive plugged into his computer and calls him to his office. Seph knows what the talk is about and charges toward the headmaster but awful consequences come from that single move.

This book will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time you’re reading this. It has 458 pages but it won’t matter that much because it’s so good you’ll be done before you can say, “this book is great!” my favorite part was when at the end him and another one of his friends battle the headmaster. This book is fantasy and also would appeal to anyone who likes magic or Harry Potter books. It’s just right for 5th-8th grade students and just the way the book is written will make you feel like you’re the character from the story. I think that another good pick for fantasy readers or readers who like Greek gods, heroes, and monsters, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Demigod files is a great book for mostly any body.
And I only want you to remember what I said about the way the writer wrote this book, it will make you feel like you are the character, and poor Seph McCauley suffers endless pain throughout this book. Beware children, it is a very dangerous thing to open this book, for if you take one fateful look, and you will suffer a reader’s consequence. This book is sold at Borders or Target.
