Merlin

The boy wizard's adventure comes to a triumphant conclusion in this magical tale by the acclaimed author of the Pit Dragon Chronicles. In flight from the magic visions that plague him, Merlin falls into the hands of the wodewose—wild folk who, according to legend, live in the company of wolves and devour children. But far from being wild, the wodewose are an enormous family of the unwanted, the abandoned, and the homeless. For once Merlin has found a place where an orphan like himself belongs . . . Praise for Passager "This first book of the Young Merlin Trilogy will have readers awaiting the sequels." —The Horn Book "Steeped in hawks, mews, and wood life, the trilogy evokes a romantic, dreamy time. But its unadorned language lets the story emerge in a guileless way that will captivate young readers. This is a fine read-aloud." —San Diego Union Tribune
