Publisher's summary

A debut novel from a teen author! Teen author J.R. King completed his debut novel at 12. He spent a year and a half rewriting and revising. Listen to the book and see for yourself why publishers all around the world are so excited about this book.

J.R. King's 12-year-old antihero turned hero, Arianna Kelt, is a reformed thief and wizard seer. Now you wouldn't think being a wizard seer would be such a big deal, but it is a big deal to the Wizards of Skyhall. For you see, those particular wizards are sworn to protect the citizens of Earth from all the things they shouldn't know about, namely wizards, warlocks, and all the creatures of the magical realms that no humans should know exist.

Certainly Arianna would like to blame all her troubles on donuts, the vile, corrupting food that has caused her problems more than once, but she couldn't. Well, not quite. The truth was she got nabbed sneaking a piece of cherry cobbler, and just when she thought her luck was running out, she saw the wizard, and of course, seeing the wizard got her into a whole new barrel of problems.

Full of humor, action, and adventure, you'll be rolling on the floor with laughter, sitting on the edge of your seat, and turning pages so fast the Law Gnomes will be out to get you too. Enter Skyhall and become a wizard if you dare!

Awesome book you won't be disappointed

My family listened to the "Arianna Kelt" books on a recent trip. My son had read the book before and was very excited about listening to the story with us. My wife and I loved Arianna Kelt! Every chapter is magical and has a new idea to it, and every chapter has a good bit of action. I loved King's wonderful descriptive skills throughout the book.

Highly entertaining for both kids and adults

I bought this book for a younger listener and ended up listening to it myself. Certainly better written than Paolini's Eragon books and with more heart. The humor throughout the book will have anyone of any age rolling with laughter.

The author understands dry humor and satire too and puts this in with the fast-paced adventures. I also appreciated the prominent featuring of both strong female characters and strong male characters. Very fun to listen to and well produced. The voicing especially. You're going to want to buy the sequel as well.
