The Malifex

(4) YA Vacationing in rural England, Sam recites a rhyme that awakens a wizard from a two-thousand-year sleep. Together with a girl named Charly, Sam and the wizard fight the malevolent Malifex (the "Maker of Evil") in order to restore the balance of good and evil in the world. The plot--which involves a quest for enchanted objects--is familiar, but the contemporary, sarcastic voices of Sam and Charly enliven the story.
