The Wizard's Way - Paperback

An entertaining introduction to the genre that touches on big ideas and deep emotions... - BookLife

When twelve-year-old Katie's grandfather mysteriously vanishes, she must unlock powers she never knew she had to save her family-and her soul.

Katie has always been the "strange" one-the kid who doesn't quite belong, who asks too many questions, who somehow drove her parents apart. But when she and her little sister, Jenny, discover a portal to another world called O'Mirra, she must battle more than her internal demons to bring her grandfather home alive.

Encountering a world in chaos, twisted creatures, and a bitter, broken sorcerer, Katie wonders if she has what it takes to rescue her family. Armed with only a handful of magical spells, a rescued wolf pup named Spunky, and the help of a young wizard named Aiden, Katie must embrace the stunning truth about herself, master her magic, and learn that her greatest strength may not be magic at all.

Written by psychologist Lisa Kelly, this emotionally rich fantasy supports young readers navigating change, belonging, and self-worth - making it a powerful fit for classroom and library collections.

Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Keeper of the Lost Cities, and The Land of Stories, THE WIZARD'S WAY is a magical adventure about courage, sisterhood, belonging, and believing in yourself.

First in a new series. Includes a Magic Spell Guide and Core Wizard Powers Reference.
