About this listen

Fourteen-year-old Ozzy lives near Portland, Oregon, and is desperate for help. His scientist parents have been kidnapped after discovering a formula that enables mind control. Their work was so top secret that Ozzy is afraid to go to the police, but without help, he fears he'll never find his parents. Then he stumbles across a classified ad in the local newspaper that says "Wizard for Hire. Call 555-SPEL." Ozzy has read about wizards in books like Harry Potter, but wizards couldn't actually exist today, could they? After Ozzy meets the wizard Labyrinth - a.k.a. Rin - he's even more skeptical.

Sure, Rin dresses like a wizard, but the short robe and high-top tennis shoes seem unorthodox, as does Rin's habit of writing notes on his shoes and eating breakfast for every meal. Plus, Rin doesn't even cast any magic spells, which means that the unexplained coincidences that start happening around Ozzy are just that - coincidences.

With the help of a robotic talking raven invented by Ozzy's father, a kind and curious girl at school who decides to help Ozzy, and of course, a self-proclaimed wizard who may or may not have a magical wand, Ozzy begins an unforgettable quest that will lead him closer to the answers he desperately seeks about his missing parents.

Story was great

This book kept my attention throughout. It’s a very sweet story. I didn’t like the ending of this one, but maybe it will get better as it continues?
The narrator did a good job overall. I just didn’t like the yelling. Lots of yelling throughout. I listen through headphones most the time and the yelling hurt my ears. When I wasn’t using headphones, it wasn’t as bad.

good, but too loud

Decent story, not really what you expect. it's slow moving. I enjoyed the story, but the yelling of the nerrorator made me almost turn it off, I've never listened to a book where it got so loud!

Inventive & Enterntaining

Great storytelling with several creative twists that work to enhance the overall story. Unlike a lot of other fantasy fiction books, this one is wholesome enough for a family road trip.
