Title: Best of the Wizardy Series
Review: I'm a big fan of Diane Duane's wizardry series, and A Wizard Abroad is my favorite in the series. While most of the series takes place in odd, uncommon places(under the ocean, far away galaxies), this one takes place in Ireland(with a few side trips to the land of the Sidhe.) When Nita's parents decide she needs a vacation from her magic and her friend Kit, they ship her off to Ireland to visit her Aunt. Her magic(and the Powers that Be), however, has other ideas. Nita manages to get mixed up in yet another battle with the Lone Power--this one, however, parallels Celtic mythology, probably one of the reasons I found this one so fascinating. NIta and Kit are here, along with some new, very interesting characters--including a cat bard. It's a fast-paced, enjoyable book that I highly recommend.
