Editorial Reviews

Review
Author Rick Just has an imagination that rivals J.K. Rowling. -- Dr. Stan Steiner, "The Bookman"

Totally engaging for young readers. -- Midwest Book Review

Two wizard wands up for Wizard Chase. Highly recommended. -- The Review Zone

Product Description
At first glance Wizard Chase seems to be a juvenile fantasy in the Harry Potter vein where everything that's interesting happens by magic. But the more its hero learns the more he begins to suspect something else is going on here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wizard Chase, June 12, 2000
WIZARD CHASE is so marvelously written that it seemed to stretch fantasy into truth. It's a novel that pulls you in with it's power, so that once you start to read, you cannot put it down. It leaves the reader spellbound and hungry for the next adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A rich jewel of a series, June 29, 2003
By Dennis Meier (Boise, ID USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A rich jewel of a series: original, imaginative, and wonderfully crafted.

If, like me, your tastes in reading lean more towards sci-fi than fantasy, don't 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 Wizard's End make up one heck of a good tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to pick up, hard to put down!, July 14, 2000
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Until he was 13, Gerrald did not know there was a place called Kimyra. He had not met a walacatoon, a scraler or even a ribek. Then one day he went after a cat in a cave and his life changed forever. The skinny kid was suddenly the leader of alien trekkers on a quest to steal the eyes of a dragon. Gerrald would soon discover there was something more powerful than magic, myth or mysticism -- and only he knew its name! Wizard Chase is the first exciting volume in a new fantasy trilogy that will prove totally engaging for young readers and one of these infrequent books that are so easy to pick up and so hard to put down.
