Tungkol sa ebook na ito
A teenage foundling finds herself at the center of a magical prophecy in this humorous fantasy adventure by a New York Times–bestselling author.
“Fforde’s talent for world-building, his skewed sense of humor and his searing satire come through full force.”—New York Times Book Review
In the good old days, magic was indispensable; it could both save a kingdom and clear a clogged drain.
But now magic is fading. Drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and magic carpets have been reduced to pizza delivery. Fifteen-year-old foundling Jennifer Strange runs Kazam Mystical Arts Management, an employment agency for magicians—but it’s hard to stay in business when magic is drying up. And then the visions start, predicting the death of the world’s last dragon at the hands of an unnamed Dragonslayer. If that’s true, everything will change for Kazam—and for Jennifer.
Because something is coming. Something known as . . . Big Magic.
“Smart, funny, and abundantly imaginative.”—Horn Book
“Humor abounds, but so does heart, as readers are introduced to a heroine who is practical, smart, and true.”—School Library Journal (starred review)
“Readers both young and adult will get hours of pleasure visiting these Ununited Kingdoms, and riding around in the Rolls-Royce Slayermobile with the Last Dragonslayer and her stalwart sidekick, Tiger Prawns.”—NPR.org
