Chronicle Supposing Books Deep Wizardry (Young Wizards #2)
What's supposed to be just a plain old summer vacation—swim, sand, and sun—takes a turn for the magical when Nita and Kit come to the aid of a fellow wizard. Only, this wizard is a whale, and she needs the two teens to join a group of whales and dolphins in an ancient underwater ritual. But performing the Song of the Twelve is not easy—and there are things in the ocean more dangerous than even the Lone Power, such as the enormous Master Shark. He is as old as the sea and has his own role in the Song of the Twelve, a role that requires only that he do what he's best at…eat someone.Particularize Books During Deep Wizardry (Young Wizards #2)

Before there was Harry, there was Nita and Kit, two wizards. Two wizards chosen by a book, which was conveniently named "So You Want to be a Wizard" (which is also the title of the first book in this Tween/YA series by the way).In this second book in the series, Nita and Kit are vacationing at the beach with Nita's parents. Their wizardry skills are called into helping the whale community prevent a disaster. At first, saving a whale, they transfigure into whales themselves...one a sperm whale,After reading and absolutely loving the first book in the series "So You Want to be a Wizard" I just knew I had to read the second book, "Deep Wizardry". In all honesty, this book is nowhere near as good as the first. First, this book is not as creative and riveting as the first book. I mean not even in the same ball park which was extremely disappointing. While it is well written and very well researched (there are many marine biology terms used throughout the novel) the plot is just moves at
Another book I wish I could have found when I was younger, because as much as I love it now, I would have been totally mesmerized then. After reading So You Want to be A Wizard, the first book in the series, I almost didn't want to move on to this one because I knew the environment changed completely, and I loved that one so much - but the underwater whale world is so fascinating and beautifully done. There were a couple of glitches in description here and there that didn't really work, but I
When Nita and Kit go on holiday, they're not expecting to have to save the world, but soon they find out that whale wizards live in the ocean and they need their help. A ritual that originally bound the Lone Power has to be reenacted to keep the world safe, and Nita and Kit agree to participate. But when Nita realizes she's volunteered for the part of the song that requires a sacrifice, she's terrified. But the way wizardry works and the stakes involved won't let her back out just to spare her
This is my favourite book out of the whole "Young Wizards" series. I think it gets to the core of what the series is all about, i.e. the Wizard's Choice and the consequences of that choice, particularly in terms of self-sacrifice. I also like the idea of exploring a new world beneath the waves.I didn't notice any major differences in this new edition compared to the original; they mention mobile phones a few times, but mainly just to say that there's no coverage where they're staying. I think
Oops, I am falling absolutely in love with these little books. First off, let me say that I have been trying a "straddling" technique in reading these; I have been alternating between listening to the (fantastically charming) audiobook for my commute to work and then switching to my paperbacks (which I hastily and excitedly purchased from Orca Books in Oly for a song on store credit) for my 15-minute work breaks in order to continue the story. I can safely say that I have been impatiently
As it was a long time since last I read So You Want To Be A Wizard, it's been an equally long time since I last read Deep Wizardry, and I'd actually forgotten quite a bit about what happens in this book. Revisiting it as an adult was a rather different experience, I'll say, because the themes, the questions raised (and answers those questions are given,) and the arguably-heavy-handed environmental awareness message are all things that have a greater impact and that I have a greater understanding
