Impatient for adventure, knowledge, and recognition, she finds her sister Nita's wizardry manual and reads the Oath aloud. Disappointingly, nothing happens. But when her family's new computer arrives, Dairene discovers more than the standard issue system software on it and launches herself on a reckless, universe-wide, high-voltage magical conflict with the Lone Power. Diane Duane's storytelling is skillfully mythic and wittily referential; Dairine's discovery and shaping of a new form of life is wondrous. For maximum enjoyment, read <i>So You Want To Be A Wizard</i> and <i>Deep Wizardry</i> first. 3173709 1990 Young Wizards, Book 3: High Wizardry (Digest) total:1038|5:16|4:23|3:15|2:2|1:0| 1038 4071 1295 39 176534 015204941X 9780152049416 965 31 3.92 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1215390489m/176534.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176534.Young_Wizards_Book_3_High_Wizardry_Digest_ 4 3 false Tue Mar 11 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 04 11:28:19 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 11 10:00:59 -0700 2008 I think I liked the first two a bit better, though n...more...]]> 176534 015204941X 9780152049416 965 31 3.92 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1215390489m/176534.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/176534.Young_Wizards_Book_3_High_Wizardry_Digest_ 3 0 true Tue Mar 24 08:57:07 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 24 09:11:54 -0700 2009
