Publisher's summary

A hopeful orphan. An incredible wizard. One boy must do the impossible to change his life forever....

Ozel wonders if he'll ever escape his angry, fat caretaker. As the orphan hopes for a better future, a mysterious wizard gives him the gift of an apprenticeship and some unbelievable magic. But when Ozel discovers he's the lone heir to a massive fortune, he'll need more than a few spells to claim it.

After learning his portly caretaker plans to steal the money first, Ozel races through a forest of blacksmiths, witches, and even the undead to protect his birthright. If he survives the treacherous Tangul forest, the orphan and his wizard may just have to stop a twisted mage to go from zero to wealthy hero.

Apprentice Quest is a young adult fantasy novel full of action and humor. If you like powerful wizards, twists and turns, and coming-of-age tales, then you'll love Jim Hodgson's worthy successor to the magical genre.

The Perfect Roadtrip Story

This is a great adventure story full of interesting characters lots of action a little romance and more than a few laughs. I love the light-hearted approach to the traditional quest as a graduation trope. Ozel is a charmingly naive young aspiring wizard who sets out to find his heritage and picks up adventurers along the way.
I would heartily recommend this one for anyone looking for an entertaining book to help pass the time on a summer road trip. It's light, fun, well narrated and easily interrupted for those inevitable stops and distractions.

Entertaining coming of age story...

If you are one that enjoys tales of wizards and coming of age of youth, you'll enjoy this story. It is written in a style for teens, in my opinion, but I truly enjoyed it.

As for as Narration, Robert Powell did a fine job. His voice fit the story perfectly, again in my opinion.

I appreciated listening to this book very much so. Hopefully this information will help those trying to decide if it's worthy of a listen. Do it!

Likable characters, fun fast-paced story,

The main characters in this first book in the Ozel the Wizard series, Ozul, Aysu, and Ergam, are likable and have great chemistry together. I loved the way they are kind to each other instead of joking/insulting like lots of other books do. The story is funny, exciting, and fast-paced, and Robert Powell's narration is great. I've heard some readers have a problem with some of the language, but it doesn't bother me. I think it's funny and unexpected, but not gratuitous. And I particularly love the message that you get good at something by practicing hard and often, not just being born with ability.

I enjoyed it

Interesting story line and heroes. I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next book in the series.

Although it doesn’t end on a cliffhanger, the story leaves you wondering what happens from here.

It has some corse language in it. No sex scenes. There is violence in it.

Narrated by: Robert Powell dose a great job with all characters having their own unique voice.

Funny!

This audio book reminded me a little bit of the Princess Bride. The characters were funny and quirky. They would get into goofy situations in a matter of fact way that was comical. I look forward to more by this author.
