Story
For as long as Lottie Fiske can remember, the only people who seem to care about her have been her best friend, Eliot, and the mysterious letter-writer who sends her birthday gifts. But now strange things and people are arriving on the island Lottie calls home, and Eliot's getting sicker, with a disease the doctors have given up trying to cure. Lottie is helpless, useless, powerless. And then a door opens in the apple tree. A door to another world - a world of magic both treacherous and beautiful - where Lottie seeks a cure for the incurable, a use for the useless, and protection against the pain of loss.

Story
This diary is the property of Snow White. Strictly speaking, I'm not supposed to keep a diary. No fairytale characters are. It's the unwritten rule of the land. And now I know why: because life here is so unlike anything people in the real world have been led to believe. Once it's finished, I'll have to find a hiding place for it. But if you're holding it now, it means it's been found, and the truth about my life can finally be revealed.

Stormy is an orphan and a kitchen skivvy. He tends the compost, he scrubs the floors, and watches feasts make their way up the mountain as he survives on bread and water. A skivvy is all that Stormy can hope to be. But Stormy has a secret. He wants to be a sky-rider, to soar amongst the clouds on spitfires: flying horses that spit fire and smoke, and answer only to their riders. A chance meeting with an escaped convict turns Stormy's life upside down. Sent up to the Academy he uncovers a web of lies, deceits and neglect, at the centre of which lies the mysterious 13th horse.

When Kara Westfall was six years old, her mother was convicted of the worst of all crimes: Witchcraft. Years later, Kara and her little brother, Taff, are still shunned by the people of their village, who believe that nothing is more evil than magic…except, perhaps, the mysterious forest that covers nearly the entire island. It has many names, this place. Sometimes it is called the Dark Wood, or Sordyr's Realm. But mostly it's called the Thickety.

Emmy was a good girl. At least she tried very hard to be good. She did her homework without being told. She ate all her vegetables, even the slimy ones. And she never talked back to her nanny, Miss Barmy, although it was almost impossible to keep quiet – some days. Honestly, Emmy really was a little too good. Which is why she liked to sit by the Rat. The Rat was not good at all.

For nearly a century, Victorian London relied on “climbing boys” - orphans owned by chimney sweeps - to clean flues and protect homes from fire. The work was hard, thankless, and brutally dangerous. Eleven-year-old Nan Sparrow is quite possibly the best climber who ever lived - and a girl. But when Nan gets stuck in a deadly chimney fire, she fears her time has come. Instead, she wakes to find herself in an abandoned attic. And she is not alone. Huddled in the corner is a mysterious creature - a golem - made from ash and coal. This is the creature that saved her from the fire.

Summary
Poor Henry. It's not enough that his mother has sent him away from home to learn magic. It's not enough that everyone at his new school calls him Thornmallow because hes prickly on the outside, squishy within. Its not enough that the only talent he shows at Wizard's Hall is an ability to make messes of even the simplest spells. Now, when Wizard's Hall is threatened by a cruel sorcerers fearsome beast, it is up to Henry - er, Thornmallow - to figure out how to save not only his new friends but also the entire school for wizards.

The book that got me to love books
This novel made me fall in love with reading in third grade. It's wonderful. The narration done by the author is great too. I'd highly recommend this if you're looking for a fun (admittedly children's) story.

Fantastic Memories From my Childhood
What made the experience of listening to Wizard's Hall the most enjoyable?
This is a story I remember from my childhood. It was great to revisit. It has much more of a fable quality, it would make for great bedtime listening with young kids.
What other book might you compare Wizard's Hall to and why?
If your child is still too young for the Harry Potter series, this is a good starter. It's about a young boy who goes to a school of magic and somewhere between making friends and learning spells he must find the courage to confront a great evil that threatens the school. And remember this came out a full 7 years before Harry Potter.
What about Words Take Wing Repertory Company’s performance did you like?
The narrator was very good. The voices are distinct and full of character.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Before there was Hogwarts, there was Wizard's Hall
