If he succeeds at his plot, the very future of magic will be at risk! Sensible sixteen-year-old Jennifer Strange, acting manager of Kazam Mystical Arts Management and its unpredictable crew of sorcerers, has little chance against the king and his cronies--but there's no way Kazam will let go of the noble powers of magic without a fight. A suspenseful, satirical story of Quarkbeasts, trolls, and wizidrical crackle!<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Fforde's signature humor and tongue-in-cheek social commentary persist in the second book of The Chronicles of Kazam trilogy.<br><b>--<i>Kirkus <p/></i></b>It's not essential to have read the first book to enjoy this one, but those who enjoyed the witty wordplay and whacked-out humor of <i>The Last Dragonslayer</i> will find the same delights in this sequel.<br><b>--</b><i><b>Publishers Weekly, starred review <p/></b></i>Imaginatively energetic and made more so by a gloriously formidable female protagonist.<br><b>--<i>The Horn Book Magazine</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Jasper Fforde is the internationally best-selling author of the Chronicles of Kazam, the Thursday Next mysteries, and the Nursery Crime books.
