Product Information

Booklist Probert’s debut combines engaging fantasy elements: mysterious enemies, fateful responsibility, and death-defying action against a variety of foes. Because the plot unfolds from one point to the next, the worldbuilding feels like it definitely could have more development time, alongside with the interesting lore and grander plot. L’univers est exactement comme je les aime : merveilleux, magique, original, réconfortant, et j’en passe!

Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) Probert's cinematic, full-color artwork is packed with inventive creatures and vivid landscapes perfectly in keeping with the fantasy adventure atmosphere. Within the world of Irpa, you could sense that Probert put a lot of details into the setting to make if feel so original and unlike anything you’ve read before from the magical creatures, plants, various towns, lore, though in my opinion there wasn’t enough page-time to grasp it all, your left with that sense of discovery as plot moved forward.Bea gets overwhelmed easily and is always 'what ifs', where Cad jumps right in and does things to know the outcome in the end. It’s mysterious, and Bea’s scared because her grandfather forgets things, so she decides to go after him, with Cad deciding to accompany her.

Left with only enough inheritance to patch and repair the exterior of the house—and with the school’s dismal standardized test scores as a final straw—Greg’s mom steers the family toward moving, opening up house-hunting and house-selling storylines (and devastating loyal Rowley, who doesn’t want to lose his best friend). But when the two arrive home, the Pig Wizard is nowhere to be found—all that’s left is the Jar of Endless Flame and a mysterious note. School Library Journal Thoroughly satisfying, with a cliffhanger ending that’s sure to hook readers. I recommend this book to children or adults who enjoy fantasy with a little bit of magic and a little bit of adventure.
