For readers who have always wanted to enroll in a school for
magic--be it Hogwarts with Harry Potter or Camp Halfblood with
Percy Jackson! Wizard lovers will delight in pretending they're
learning magic from a cheat-sheet handbook from an elite school for
sorcery. Welcome to the Apprentice Academy. Congratulations on your
acceptance to one of the world's finest institutions for sorcery.
Your course of study here will be long and perilous, but this book
of sorcery skills and fascinating tales from the world of magic
will help you along the way--ideally with all your limbs and wits
intact. Learn how to: - Read minds! - Prophesize! - Perform a love
spell! - Choose an animal familiar! - Turn anything into gold! -
Summon demons! - Find a lair! - And more! But most of all learn to
cheat, or, rather, to weasel through without actually cheating.
Please follow all instructions carefully, as one wrong move can
transform your hands into forks or serpents, and then you will have
a hard time turning the page. Inspired by folklore and mythology
around the world, Apprentice Academy: Sorcerers is a rich,
multicultural exploration and celebration of magic from not just
Europe, but also from Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the
Americas. Narrated by a witty and weaseling character who supplies
cheat sheets to students, Apprentice Academy opens the door on an
exciting new world of magic and myth, chivalry and royalty, with
the second book in the series-Knights-scheduled for Spring 2024.
