11 YEAR OLD JASON ATTENDS SUMMER CAMP AT CAMP RAVENWYNG, FOR KIDS WITH CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION. HE SOON LEARNS THAT EVERYONE THERE HAS SOME KIND OF "TALENT" THAT HAS TO DO WITH MAGICK AND THAT THE STUDENTS ARE BEING TRAINED TO UTILIZE THEIR POWERS TO STOP THE DARK HAND BEFORE ALL MAGICK IS DESTROYED.

VERY REMINISCENT OF THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS. AT FIRST, I WAS PUT OFF BY THIS, BUT THE READER IS SOON DRAWN IN BY THE CHARACTERS AND PLOT. THE ENDING LEAVES LOTS OF ROOM FOR A SEQUEL AND POSSIBLE MORE. KIDS WHO ARE WAITING FOR THE NEXT HARRY POTTER SHOULD DEFINITELY PICK THIS ONE UP. (

Epigraph

Dedication

Dedicated to Michael Gilbert: Remembered for his artistic talent, dry wit, and keen sensibilities, and missed by many friends. He won the battle, but lost the war....

First words

The moon hung like a silver lantern in the midnight sky; white sand below his feet made a soft shushing sound as he moved.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 075640035X, Mass Market Paperback)

A long time ago, two great sorcerers fought a duel to determine the fate of the world. Magic itself was ripped from our world, its power kept secret by a handful of enchanters. The world of Magicks, however, still exists-and whoever controls the Gates controls both worlds.

In The Magickers...
Enter Jason Adrian and his friends-who have been recruited by Gavan Rainwater into the most unusual summer camp on earth-Camp Ravenwyng. There, they will learn about their own special talents. They'll develop their magick powers and unlock the secrets of controlling them.

To Jason, it seems like a dream come true. But there is one thing he will have to do before he leaves this very special camp: face the evil minions of the Dark Hand...

Eleven-year-old Jason Adrian is spared a boring summer at his grandmother's house when his English teacher announces he has won the opportunity to attend Camp Ravenwyng, a haven for creative and imaginative youth, but he arrives to discover the camp is really a training ground for new magicians who are needed to carry on the battle against the Dark Hand of Brennard.… (more)
