Publisher's summary

When Ozzy’s scientist parents are kidnapped, he responds to a classified ad in the local newspaper and hires a “wizard” named Rin who claims that his magic is real, but Ozzy isn’t convinced.

In the final book of the Wizard for Hire trilogy, Ozzy and his friend (and Rin’s daughter), Sigi, are in danger. They are still being hunted by Ray, the power-mad villain who will stop at nothing to find the formula to the mind-controlling discipline serum - one that Ozzy’s parents created and injected into him.

Knowing the dangers that lie ahead, Rin introduces Ozzy to four more friends who also claim magical, wizard-like abilities. Again, Ozzy has no reason to believe that magic exists or that Rin’s eccentric friends can help.

With the injection of the mind-controlling serum, Ozzy is learning to control the minds of animals as well as people. His new powers make him wonder if magic is necessary. Rin says believing is key to seeing the magic all around us, but Ozzy isn’t so sure anymore.

Rin, Ozzy, and Sigi must act quickly, as the minds and free will of all mankind are in danger of being controlled by whoever controls the serum. The wild ride plays out in a nonstop, nail-biting battle at a popular fantasy convention.

In this series finale, Ozzy will find out if his kidnapped parents are still alive, and he’ll discover that real friends are like magic: they make the impossible, possible.

A favorite

I read/listen to a lot of bookies and Ive been around a while. And in that time, this has to be one of the best stories I’ve heard. Absolutely entertaining, charming, laugh out loud funny, and heartfelt. Excellent job to Kirby Heyborne and Obert Skye!

spell binding

i didn't know what to expect but after the second book i was hooked and this one was a delightful finish to the series and i would say was worth every second listening. the narrator was good and did a great job of portraying the emotions the characters felt when they spoke and I'm looking forward to seeing where else his career will take him.

compelling insanitty

ryn is nuts. I just had to keep listening it was like my brother's fascination with teen mom. I had to keep listening to see what insanity he would cause next. a well spun story with just enough magic to keep things flowing smoothly .

A most excellent finale.

From book 1 to book 3, hearing the amazing characters change and grow over the entire series was fascinating. Through all the trials and tribulations of Ozzy Toffy, to him finally being introduced to his mother. It took me on a magic and mind wondering visualization for 1 week of listening to them all at work. Who knew a series like this could make a person visibly cry with an ending such as this.
Bravo.

Magic is Everywhere

This tween book was so fun and had some great lessons. The action and flow of the story was a ton of fun. I liked the way Ozzy grew and learned from his trials. I thought the ending was perfect.

a fun read

ok. I was going to quit on this series because it started dragging along inventing stuff to complicate the plot. but the end is actually worth the wait. its a fun light read with a positive ending. and it doesnt read like a video game.
