Avis Blackthorn is not an evil Wizard! (Book 1)
Children, Teenage & YA Fantasy — A Magical Mystery Thriller
Avis Blackthorn’s family is the most evil family in all of the Seven Magical Kingdoms. The problem? Avis isn’t evil. Not one bit.
His family and 6 siblings will do anything to make Avis’s life a misery. Even the horses that pull the carriages don’t like him.
But he has a way out at last… “Hailing Hall School for Wizards,” a sanctuary, a place where he can make some nice, normal friends, live a normal life and finally escape the notoriety of the Blackthorn name… or so he thinks.
That’s where the real adventure — humorous, haunting and mysterious — begins.
Come along with Avis as he tries desperately to prove he isn’t evil like his family. As he copes with the humiliation as his seventh year brother Ross reveals Avis’s most embarrassing moments in front of the whole school.
And join Robin and Hunter, Avis’s friends from the Outside, the same world as yours in fact, as they discover Wizard’s Spider Soap, Moss Moisturiser and Beatle Bum Shampoo.
And will any of them understand the rules of the wizarding sport Riptide, in time?
But strange things are brewing and Avis finds himself at the centre of it. After spotting Malakai — the most evil Sorcerer around and his parents employer — coming into the school in the dead of night. Avis wonders why? And why will no one believe him?
The mysterious, beautiful Tina might know why. When Avis and Robin spot her creeping round in the dead of night, she tells them about the quest and a thrilling mystery unfolds.
Follow Avis as he unlocks the biggest of clues, befriends a ghost, and leads all the way to the Magical holy grail itself — the Book of Names and the possible end of the darkest Sorcerer of all time.
Avis has to make a big choice to make — his friends, or his family, and the choice… might just kill him.
