Buy Freckles: The Dark Wizard here!
"The author weaves a wonderfully offbeat tale centered on finding one’s own internal power amid the surrounding confluence of order vs. chaos. This book’s superpower resides in how it connects with the reader: not by preaching, but instead by the blissfully simple act of holding up a mirror to allow for self-examination of one’s own circumstances. Turns out the coolest person in school is the one staring back at you in that mirror once the grey smoke clears.
An engaging and skillfully executed story that deserves a wide audience."
At Flame Rock Middle School, you show off your big biceps, post your dimples on InstaWitch, grow a cheetah tail, or use your fairy wings to fly down the hall. For Simon, wearing his peers' opinions can be a literal event. Especially since Simon has the visible mark of a weak wizard... freckles. What will happen when Simon learns he has dark magic and can conjure a dragon? Will he become one of the bullies he hated or choose a different path?
