ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 48
Book Description
In this part of the Series, The Wizard Without a Wand, we follow the story of a Wand as it searches for its Wizard. For every Wand has a particular Wizard, just as every Wizard has a particular Wand. Indeed, when a Wizard uses a Wand, they become indistinguishable. Just how did this Wand come to be? How did it end up in the Underground City? How does its story interweave with that of Shmedley Thrumbledack who is the Wizard Without a Wand. Rating G; Reading Level Easy 5th Grade; Longest Word: Indistinguishable This Wand’s name is Accoustical Light. I don’t know if every Wand has a name. But why not, if they’re as important as Wizards? Not just any Wand will work for Shmedley Thrumbledack. For he’s not just a Wizard, he’s a magical being. And only a magical being can make a Wand for a magical being? So, who would have made it? Accoustical Light’s story starts 400 years ago with Professor Malkius Wontlemoot, the last Professor of Wandmaking. After Malkius stopped teaching to wander the countryside, Wandmaking was no longer taught in Wizard Schools. This was much to the relief of several students. Instead, Wands were made by guilds. And only apprentices were taught how to make Wands. Accoustical Light and Shmedley Thrumbledack come close to meeting each other, but in the end, it’s only through a strange twist of events, that they wind up together.
