"The novel is unusual in structure and plot as readers experience
the same incidents portrayed through different perspectives, each
revealing another layer of the story . . . . Solid, authentic
basketball action with plenty of food for thought, colored with
elements of fantasy."—Kirkus
“The Wizenard is an achievement—not only because it’s a good novel;
not only because it merges the world of wizardry and sport deftly.
It is an achievement because it teaches that magic and basketball
aren’t binary, not in fiction and not in reality. …Every young
person who picks up a ball, or a book, or even a wand, should pick
up The Wizenard Series: Training Camp to be fans and teammates of
this standout rookie.”—Nikko Ramos, Fully Booked Online.com
“Every kid who reads [The Wizenard Series: Training Camp] will
imagine they are one of the lucky five young hoopsters—Rain, Twig,
Cash, Lab, and Peno—who benefit from the teachings of the
master.”—2paragraphs.com
