In a world of magic, can science save the day? Wednesday Weeks never wanted to be a sorcerer's apprentice. She'd rather study science than magic. But when her cloak-wearing, staff-wielding grandpa is captured by a power-hungry goblin king, Wednesday must find a way to embrace her magical heritage and rescue him from the dreaded Tower of Shadows. Luckily, she's not alone. Her best friend Alfie is a prime-number fan and robotics expert who's all-in on Wednesday's epic plan involving parallel universes, swords of power, and a wise-cracking talking skull. But it's going to take more than science, magic, and the world's cutest robot to take down this bad guy. Because the goblin king is playing for the ultimate prize - and Wednesday and Alfie just walked into his trap...

Wednesday Weeks is an ordinary girl in an ordinary school. She also happens to be a sorcerer's apprentice. When her magical grandfather pulls her out of science class to go on a quest in the Realm of Slugs, her best friend Alfie follows them. When the mission goes wrong, it's up to Wednesday and Alfie to save the day....with a little help from a talking skull, the world's cutest robot and their knowledge of real world science.
Warning - If you don't already like science, be careful because you might just love it after reading this book!
Book 2 comes out in September and I can't wait to see which of the nine realms Wednesday and Alfie will visit next. I hope it's the Realm of Unfriendly Cats! - Kellie (QBD)
