The story: Wish, the Warrior queen's daughter, isn't a very good warrior. And Xar, son of King Encanto the Magnificent, isn't much of a wizard. When Xar's quest to capture a witch and steal her magic for himself brings him crashing into Wish instead, things immediately go wrong and nothing turns out quite as expected--especially the part where they accidentally release the Kingwitch from a stone (even though witches are supposedly extinct). So don't ask what else could go wrong... because it probably will!

Liz's comments: This fantasy story is great for readers in grades 3-6. There's plenty of action here, and only a little scariness. Hand it to kids who want magic but none of the scary stuff--the same audience, in fact, that already loves the "How to Train Your Dragon" series.
