Hee hee! Finally, we have a kid-magician! Enter, Skeeve!
Skeeve is apprenticed to Garkin, a master magician. It’s been almost a year since they met, and Skeeve can barely light a candle! Is Skeeve a slow learner, or is Garkin hoarding all his secrets?
Turns out, Skeeve will never know. Garkin decides to show Skeeve the powers he will one day have- if he keeps studying, that is. The magician summons a demon from the next dimension!
In the midst of his work, Garkin is assassinated by an Imp sent by Isstvan, a crazy magician who wants to take over all the dimensions and is afraid that Garkin would oppose his bid for power.
But when Garkin is killed, the protective spell he had put up to protect them from the demon is disabled! Now a ‘vicious, blood thirsty demon’ is on the loose in boring old Klah, Skeeve’s home land (dimension?)!
What will happen to Skeeve?
Are demons really that bad?
And will demons and humans ever trust each other?

Book Review
Ahhh… the Princess Bride. A tale of true love and high adventure. The Princess Bride, written by S. Morgenstern and abridged by William Goldman, keeps you on the edge of your seat to the very last pages. Buttercup, the most beautiful woman in the world, lives on a small farm with her parents and the Westley, whom she dubs the ‘Farm Boy’.
Westley loves the beautiful Buttercup, and expresses his affections for her in the words “As you wish“. Buttercup soon finds that she loves Westley. In order to marry Buttercup, the Farm Boy goes to America to seek his fortune, but unfortunately his ship is captured by the Dread Pirate Roberts who never leaves his victims alive. After all, if you start making exceptions people start to fear you less and then its nothing but work, work, work all the time.
Back at the farm, Buttercup who is still mourning the loss of her love, is forced to marry the evil Prince Humperdinck, who is scheming to murder his new wife and blame it on a rival country, Guilder. Buttercup, is captured by the notorious Sicilian Crowd, Vinzini the Sicilian , Inigo, the Spaniard (and a fencing master who is intent on finding and killing the six fingered man who unjustly slaughtered his father), and Fezzik, the giant. They are headed for the Guilder frontier when a masked man in black appears. The kidnappers believe him to be the Dread Pirate Roberts, but he is known only as the man in black!
The man in black duels Inigo, and comes out the victor, but leaves him alive. He then grapples with Fezzik the Giant, and comes out on top once more. The man in black must then outwit the mastermind, Vinzini when any mistake means a knife in the throat for Buttercup.
Why is the man in black chasing after Buttercup and will he be able to win the battle of wits with Vinzini, the Sicilian mastermind?
Will Prince Humperdinck’s plan to kill the Princess and start a war with Guilder succeed? Read the book to find out and be sure and tell me what you think. Post your opinions on my blog!
