Wizard's Holiday, Young Wizards

Two teen wizards embark on an alien exchange program in this “hilarious and scary” adventure from the author of A Wizard Alone (Booklist).

Rest and relaxation—that’s what Nita Callahan thinks she’s going to get when she and her partner-wizard Kit Rodriguez go on a “cultural exchange” program. But nothing about wizardry—not even vacation—is ever quite that simple! Number one: They’re headed to a planet that may be just a bit too perfect. Number two: Nita’s sister Dairine must host a trio of alien guests here on Earth. Number three: The culture clashes that ensue could have devastating consequences—for both planets!
