Book Description

September 14, 2010 10 and up Dungeons & Dragons920L (What's this?)
Enter a school for magic where even the first day can be (un)deadly...

On the very first day of school at the world-famous Aldwyns Academy for Wizardry, fledgling wizard Dorian Ravensmith finds himself immersed in a mystery. White wolves have been attacking incoming students. Ghosts are haunting the Snapping Dragon Gardens. And the professors lurk in the halls, whispering about a shadowy wizard who seems to be behind it all.

That night, Dorian spies a figure creeping into the Snapping Dragon Gardens and and he follows, certain that with the help of a few magic items and simple potions, he can catch the culprit by daybreak and return a hero. But as hobgoblins, banshees, and a terrifying dragon try to stop him at every turn, Dorian discovers that he's stepped into an (un)deadly trap that could not only destroy his future as a wizard but also the beloved wizardry school.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but Action-Packed May 13, 2011
Format:Hardcover
Young Dorian Ravensmith is being sent to school at Aldwyns Academy for Wizardry, to follow in his mother's footsteps. But on the way, Dorian and his mother are attacked by wolves. Then when they finally arrive at the school, Dorian begins seeing apparitions. And when his magic tutor sneaks out on his first night there, Dorian suspects her of keeping secrets and decides to follow her - leading him into more trouble than he thought possible.

Dorian is reluctant to become a wizard, and doesn't seem to have the talent that his powerful and prestigious mother does. But in just one long day, Dorian is faced with incredible challenges that force him to develop his magic skills and courage. This is a short, fast-paced fantasy for young readers that ties in to the Dungeons and Dragons realm and series. Fun characters, frightening monsters, and plenty of magic, it was impossible to put down. My only complaint was that it was so short and over too soon. Loaded with action, adventure, suspense, and surprises around every corner - Aldwyns Academy is a highly entertaining and fun read.
