Publisher Description

Nita's best friend and wizard partner Kit has gone his own way, leaving Nita to practice magic on her own. In the midst of this sad goodbye, Nita's mother is diagnosed with terminal brain cancer--seemingly untreatable by science or sorcery. Nita's greatest foe, the evil Lone Power, may be her only hope. Her mother's life hanging in the balance, Nita must now trust an arch-nemesis she's spent a lifetime fighting. The Wizard's Dilemma is the fifth title in Diane Duane's New York Times best-selling Wizardry series, which includes So You Want to be a Wizard, Deep Wizardry, High Wizardry, and A Wizard Abroad. Christina Moore vividly conveys Nita's teenage angst, fear and courage in these wonderful tales of magic and mischief that have delighted readers for almost 20 years. Before there was Harry, there was Nita!

"The Wizard's Dilemma covers a battle with cancer, and what Nita and her partner can do to beat it without paying too high a price. The tale of sacrifice and trial and determination was absolutely incredible! And the ending . . . poignant, and just completely heartbreaking while still making it clear why it happened this way. I love when the quest isn't clear-cut and when a book can sometimes show where losing is winning."

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " I enjoyed it but the fundamental underlying tension is a rift in Nita's & Kit's relationship, with no real good basis and a bunch of people who are aware of it and don't make an issue of kicking them into some sense. "

    " Every one of the books in this series has been one that I can sink myself down in to, and one that makes me think hard about the issues that it presents. Bliss! "

    " This is a tough one to get through, as Nita and her family face the fact that Nita's mother has cancer. The tragic choices that Nita has in front of her really bring issues related to science, magic, and free will to the forefront. A good, although sad, read. "

    " I was a little worried about how the author would deal with the issue of wizardry and serious illness, but I actually found it very interesting. I didn't love the way it turned out, but at least I understood why it worked out the way it did. "

    " I read the early books in this series a long, long time ago. I had no idea there were so many more that had been written. This one is definitely better than the couple before it, if not quite as great as the original first two. "

    " An amusing continuation in the series, though it deals with mortality in a way that doesn't pull many punches. I'm enjoying the series so far, particularly the tongue-in-cheek updating of certain characters (ie spot) to reflect the changing decades.... "
