Review
Two wonderful authors in Cassandra Clare and Holly Black have joined forces to produce a fantastic fantasy series.
Callum Hunt is only twelve years old when he is invited to a trial for the Magisterium.
A trial in which his father has drummed into him he must fail, as you ‘never trust a magician.’ Even though Cal manages to fail spectacularly, he is still selected by Master Rufus as his apprentice. His life begins to change in many ways as he works together with Aaron and Tamara, his two roommates to navigate the Magisterium.
This is a fast paced fantasy full of adventure, mystery, magic and friendship. It was a compelling read that was really hard to put down and will be loved by all fans of J.K Rowling and Rick Riordan.
Perfectly suited to both boys and girls, Year 7 and up, this series is sure to be a hit with your students.
