The Misfit Apprentice

By Robert Levy and Robert Levy

All Maria ever wanted was to be a magician. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't learn to control the magic. Her training terminated, the former apprentice magician sets out to seek her fortune. Instead, trouble and a strange mute boy find her. To help a new friend, Maria and the boy join forces in a quest to steal the heavily guarded scrolls of a hostile neighboring country. But there's more to wizardry than scrolls, and Maria's journey leads her on a path to a long-forgotten enchantment -- one she'd only dreamed of.

Customer Reviews

An early harry potter

I enjoyed this book a lot even though the beginning was pretty slow, after that it was a fantasy mystery kind of book with lots of twists and turns. I really liked the adventure and excitment in this book and I would reccomend it to people who enjoy magic and adventure and survival in the woods.
