Publisher's summary

On one dark and windy night, Ozzy steps out of bed, jumps out his window, and walks straight into the ocean. It's as if someone is controlling Ozzy's mind. He's saved by Sigi - Rin's daughter - and Clark, a mechanical robot bird. More than ever, Ozzy could really use the services of Rin, the Wizard for Hire.

When a mysterious package arrives in the mail containing a plane ticket and a thumb drive, Ozzy is certain it's from Rin. But when Ozzy, Sigi, and Clark arrive in New York, Rin isn't there. Instead they are met by the man who was the money behind the mind-controlling "discipline serum" created by Ozzy's parents. Ozzy was the final test case and is now the key to discovering the serum's secret. He is a very valuable boy. Once again, he's on the run.

As fate would have it, Rin appears just in time. But Rin's goal is more than a rescue mission. He needs an apprentice to cement his status and notoriety in the magical realm of Quarfelt - assuming the place even exists. As Rin's apprentice, Ozzy must complete five tasks to receive the Gift of Wonder. Ozzy is willing to help, but is now really the best time to enter a contest for wizards when something is controlling his mind? Especially when someone is out to destroy the people he loves?

Loving this story!

My 9 yr old & I are very much enjoying this fun & quirky series about a cooky wizard, a snarky bird, a tenacious girl, & an awkward young man. We grow more & more in tranced with the characters as each book unfolds.

The wizard way.

Very entertaining, grasps your attention and the ride is great.
Ozzy’s life is a mystery which Ron and Siggy are helping him solve. This time they need to get closer to the law for safety.
Definitely a must read series!

Good story, narrator yelling was annoying

The journey continues for young Ozzie, Rin, Sigi, and Clark as a new villain appears with a vicious thirst for power. Good squeal through the narrator tends to yell a little too loudly and it gets annoying fast.
