5.0 out of 5 stars
A jewel of a series, June 29, 2003
This review is from: Wizards' End (Paperback)
If, like me, your tastes in reading lean more towards sci-fi than fantasy, dont be deterred by the title of this terrific series, which begins when a young Idaho boy stumbles upon a hidden cave. Chasing his errant cat, he soon finds that the cave is a gateway to another world, Kimyra, where talking(!) cats are joined by such strange creatures as ribeks, wallacatoons, trolls, and gryphons in a battle between good and evil wizards.
For the Kimyrans, everything is explainable as magic, but thirteen year old Gerrald, a.k.a., Jarrett in Kimyran, is a bit of a skeptic, less amenable to accepting explanations involving the supernatural when nature is known to have more tricks up its sleeve than an army of wizards could conjure up in a lifetime of trying. But to get back to Earth, Gerrald will need all the magic he can muster to steal two jewel eyes that were stolen from a stone dragon by the evil wizard Mantigore.
Together, Wizard Chase, Wizard Girl, and Wizards End make up one heck of a good tale.
