Apprentice Needed

Wizard for Hire #2

by Obert Skye

Ozzy Toffy’s adventure, which began in Wizard for Hire, continues when one dark and windy night, he gets out of bed, jumps out his window, and walks straight into the ocean.

More than ever, Ozzy could really use the services of Rin, the wizard he hired to help find his parents — but Rin is missing, despite Ozzy’s continual attempts to contact him. And Clark, the mechanical bird his father left him, is as peculiar and vain as ever.

When a mysterious package arrives, Ozzy and his good friend Sigi are sure that the plane ticket and thumb drive they find inside are from Rin. Trying to get Clark through security at the airport proves complicated — as most things are with Clark. But when they arrive in New York, they discover there’s even more adventure in store for them.

Will Rin return and save the day? Will Ozzy figure out why he keeps walking into the ocean? Can Sigi find a way to trust her delinquent father? Will someone please appreciate Clark the way he’d like to be appreciated? For once?

Wizard for Hire: Apprentice Needed is a story filled with humor and excitement that shows us the magic in everyday things.

کتاب خوندن توی گوشی همیشه سخت بوده ولی این بار خیلی طول کشید. با اینکه کتاب جذابی بود و فصل ها کوتاه

کتاب ادامه ی داستان ''جادوفروش'' بود . که اگر بخوام اعتراف کنم یکی از معدود دفعاتی بود که ترجمه ی کتاب اول از پرتقال رو بیشتر دوست داشتم تا انگلیسی کتاب دوم
ماجرا همچنان قشنگ بود. رین یخورده بیشتر روی اعصاب بود . ماجراجویی کتاب و نقاط اوج و فرود داستان هم عالی بودن و برای کسایی خوبه که مثل من از خوندن کتاب هایی که توش یکسره در حال رخ دادن اتفاقه و خیلی شلوغ پلوغ لذت میبرن
در هر صورت، کتاب خیلی جدی نیست و برای مثال میگم ، کسی نمیخواد توش دنیا رو نجات بده 😅

ری‌‌ویوی دوم:
اومدم جلد سوم رو بخونم اما چون فاصله افتاده بود خیلی چیزها رو فراموش کرده بودم. در نتیجه دوباره اومدم سراغ این. (یه سری صفحات که زیاد مهم نبودن رو رد کردم که فقط مرور بشه داستان.)
و باید بگم تکراری بودنش هیچی از احساس فوق‌العاده‌ای که در من ایجاد می‌کنه کم نکرد!
این کتاب یه شاهکاره و اوبرت اسکای یه نابغه‌ست!
می‌تونم کلی درمورد این‌که چقدر عاشق این مجموعه‌ام بنویسم.
