(3) 4-6 In this slapdash fantasy, Rupert Campbell, a lonely eleven-year-old boy, applies to be an apprentice to Witchling Two, an unpromising witch-to-be whose Bar Exam (yes, one needs certification to be a witch) is mere weeks away, and the two become friends. With Roald Dahl–ish characters and just-wacky-enough humor, there is much to enjoy in Magaziner's debut novel.
