A Wizard without a Wand? How can that be? Aren't Wizard and Wand almost synonomous?In this first book of the series, we meet this Wizard without a Wand - Shmedley Thrumbledack and his closest friends in their first year at some Wizard School. This Wizard School is so expensive, that Shmedley's parents run out of money buying his supplies and don't have enough left over to buy him a Wand. Shmedley is part of a group of kind students dubbed The Tensome. Shmedley is very smart in Wizard Math and knows exactly how much a kajillion is. Rating G; Reading Level Very Easy 5th Grade; Longest Word: WizardetiquetteSchmedley Thumbledack is a young teenage boy on his way to Wizard School. He's got three things going for him:1)When he says his last name, it sounds like thunder and lightning striking somewhere close by.2)He's as smart as the seniors in Wizard Math.3)He has a full scholarship.About that full scholarship. It only pays for things once Schmedley arrives are Wizard School. It doesn't pay for his transportation to Wizard School and home again. That's understandable, but that means he'll have to ride the Wizard School Bus. Even though his parents are very powerful wizards, they never seem to have much money. They certainly won't be able to afford sending him on the Wizard School Train.Schmedley's parents will have to buy his books, even Proper Wizardetiquette (Wizard Etiquette) which is certain to be Shmedley's least favorite subject. They'll even have to buy his books for Wizard Math, even though he's certain to ace out of that subject on day one.And once his parents have finished buying the ticket for the Wizard School Bus, and have bought all of Shmedley's books, they're out of money. And there's not enough left to buy Schmedley a Wand.But everyone knows that if you're going to be a Wizard, you need a Wand. There's just no way that Schmedley can go to Wizard School without a Wand. He would be the laughingstock. Bullies would no doubt pick on him. And the Wizard School would certainly send him home until he can return with a Wand.Yet, here he is on the Bus to Wizard School. Maybe when he arrives, they'll have some used Wands. Maybe he can find one in the lost and found. Maybe somebody will lend him theirs when he needs one. Fat chance of that!One thing is certain. Without a Wand, Schmedley will certainly flunk out of Dousing – The Art of Putting Out Spells Gone Awry.Schmedley is off to a new adventure at Wizard School. Without a Wand, he's unable to think about it. And he finds himself totally unprepared for what lies ahead.Some stories about Wizard Schools are rather dark. This one is mysterious, yet light. And there's lots of humor. There will be surprises. And you'll like the ending. This is book one of a ten book series.Genre – Fantasy, Magic, Young Adult (YA), Perhaps Middle Grades (MG), Dragons, Dinosaurs.Wizard Schools seem to have certain things in common. Dragons for instance. But Dinosaurs? Yep, this Wizard school also has those. They also have bullies as do other Wizard Schools. How will Schmedley be able to defend himself from them without his wand? Giants, perhaps. One of the students is very tall and very muscular. Most Wizard Schools have Dormitories. Sometimes they're called houses. This Wizard School calls them hotels. The students at all Wizard Schools cast spells. In this one, they all have other special, magical abilities. If this were a book about superheros, those talents might be called superpowers. They all have teachers or professors, and principals or headmasters or headmistresses. And there are always tests, both the formal and informal kind.
