Description: Praise for JINX: "Readers will thrill to journey with Jinx." - School Library Journal (starred review) Praise for JINX'S MAGIC: "This series deserves a permanent place in the children's fantasy pantheon, with Narnia and Earthsea." - Booklist (starred review) Praise for JINX'S MAGIC: "The unique setting, smart pace, likable characters, and sprightly voice hold the narrative together while keeping Jinx's fans eager for more." - The Horn Book Praise for JINX'S MAGIC: "As Blackwood extends Jinx's experiences to other lands, she adds layers of complexity that hint at future developments. The next installment can't come along soon enough." - School Library Journal Praise for JINX: "In this expertly paced, beautifully written fantasy, Blackwood elevates familiar fantasy elements with exquisitely credible characters who inhabit a world filled with well-drawn magic and whimsy." - Booklist (starred review) Prasie for JINX: "Blackwood fills her tale with drama and delightfully funny dialogue." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Blackwood offers a story of enchanting texture and depth, and series fans will be elated to have another outing with the sweetly sardonic hero, whose conscience is almost as troublesome as his grasp of spells. Fans of Cornelia Funke should add this to their stacks." - ALA Booklist "Blackwood keeps an astonishing number of balls in the air for this third book, exploiting facets of her versatile magical world by means of multiple alliances, complex plans of attack, and sticky wizardly puzzles to solve. It's the puzzles within Jinx himself, however, that give the tale its heart." - Horn Book Magazine "The author's multifaceted invention and sprawling, brawling, well-delineated cast combine forces for a tight, cohesive conclusion." - Horn Book Magazine Praise for JINX: "[Blackwood] puts her central three [characters] through a string of suspenseful, scary situations before delivering a properly balanced closing set of resolutions, revelations and road signs to future episodes." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Praise for JINX: "Flowing dialogue, easy interactions between the characters, a mixed Diana Wynne Jones/Lloyd Alexander vibe, and a setting both familiar and original make the novel immediately inviting and compelling." - The Horn Book Praise for JINX: "Complex characters, compelling fun, a marvelously dastardly villain, all steeped in a tasty stew of mystery and magic. What more could a reader ask for?" - Bruce Coville Praise for JINX: "JINX is filled with real magic, not just the magic young Jinx learns, but the magic of a great book: memorable, engaging characters,humor that's actually funny, an original, fantastic world, and real human feelings. I can't wait for the next one." - John Stephen, NYT bestselling author of THE EMERALD ATLAS Praise for JINX: "JINX is a truly wonderful book full of magic, adventure, peril, magical forests, wizards up to no good, and a clever boy hero who will make you cheer while wanting to tear your hair out. I fell in love with this book, and then it broke my heart and stomped all over the pieces-but by the end my heart was whole again, and I was longing to read the sequel. JINX is a joy and a delight. It's my very favorite book of the year." - Sarah Prineas, author of The Magic Thief "A solid conclusion to a trilogy...threaded with proper amounts of heroism, humor and ingenious twists of character." - Kirkus Reviews
