The Wizards of Once
Written by Cressida Cowell
Age Level: 9 - 12
Grade Level:  3 – 7
​ 
Xar is a Wizard boy without a trace of magic, but he’ll do anything to get it.
 
Wish is a Warrior girl who owns something forbidden, something magical, and she’ll do anything to conceal it.
 
Xar and Wish thought they were on a regular adventure, searching for something they needed, something to keep secret from their parents. But along the way they meet and find themselves in the middle of a perilous quest. Something that’s been sleeping for centuries is calling them. There’s danger ahead and an unexpected ending.
 
Curious? Check out this book. It’s the first of a trilogy. I can’t wait to read the next two to find out what happens to Xar and Wish.
