I really enjoyed this book! It was fine, light, and replete with fun and awesome adventures.
Sure, it didn't tax my brain, but it absolutely tickled my funny bone! I could picture 11 year old son (a very reluctant reader) reading and loving this book. In fact, I've already passed it on to him!
If you or your child (boys and girls will enjoy this book) love fun adventures with humor and amazing creatures, you'll love TEENAGE WIZARD. It would also be the perfect book to read with your kids because the dialogue and circumstances would lend themselves really well to be read out loud.

Jeremy was a fun and believable character. He has hopes and dreams, but lots of flaws and problems too. When he ends up going to the other world and swaps bodies with a magician there, the description of a boy's soul or consciousness inside an old man's body really made sense. He couldn't run like he used to 'cause things hurt. Karen really did a good job making me believe Jeremy was really experiencing something completely foreign to him but possible nonetheless. Then since he plummets to his death in that old body he returns to his own, but the soul of the magician (who was in Jeremy's body) has no place to return so he stays with Jeremy's body. I loved how Karen had the two struggle to come to terms with this yet it didn't ever get over the top or strange. I loved the magic in this story. Magic in the other world is completely normal, and science is top order in our/Jeremy's world, but Jeremy begins to use magic in our world since the magician sharing his consciousness teaches him about the possibilities out there. It was fun to have two worlds to go back and forth between and Karen did a good job keeping me guessing on what was going on while still giving me enough information I could piece things together to understand what would come next. Besides dragons, there were shapeshifters, Pegasus, and other mythical creatures. I'm looking forward to the next in the series since she left it off in such a way that Jeremy is still in some trouble, but I have hopes things will work out well for him.
