Summary: this book sucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(many more !s)
Review: " A Wizard Abroad [wizardry series NO.4]" this was not even a good book to go with the wizardry series. The only good parts of the book are as follow: 1. It takes place in ireland. 2. It has custom spells. 3. Most of the people are wizards. 4. Theres one kiss in it 5. The main character is a girl. And there are many things i hated about it i'll give you five examples. 1. There are few spells in it. 2. The spells where weak and pitiful. 3. Everyone is a wizard. 4. There are few battles. 5. The kiss at the end took up two pages. So, as you can see the book sucked in almost all aspects

Summary: Makes me want to be a wizard
Review: (Yes, I know it's just a book).The fourth installment in the Young Wizards series continues Miss Duane's tradition of excellent writing. I've always wanted to visit Ireland myself and reading her description of the places there made me want to visit even more. She really does seamlessly interweave the real world with the fantasy world in such a way that it is easy to believe and in fact you WANT to believe and you hate coming to the end of the book so soon and you go out and buy the next book. Or, if the next book is not handy, you go back and reread your growing collection. For as long as it takes. A quick note on the amount of magic in this book -- there's less spellcasting and whatnot (although the forging of a certain item near the end of the book is incredible) because it's overshadowed by IRELAND. I mean, IRELAND IS the magic in the book. And it's tough for even the strongest wizard to compete with that.

Summary: A wizard abroad (really great book!)
Review: A wizard abroad deals with Nita's expiriences while staying with her aunt. Just the right touch of romance and as you read the plot thickens you won't be able to put it down and the same web that trapped me while reading it will envelope you until you finish. Then, you will wish it had been longer! I highly recomend this book to teens.

Summary: Nita has to fight the Fomori and defeat Balor
Review: A Wizard Abroad is a great book! I am 10 years old and this is the fourth book in the wizardry series that I have loved. I thought this because I like magic and it was very adventurous. Nita's parents think she needs a break from magic, and Kit, so they get her a trip to Ireland. She stayed at her Aunt Anne's house. It turns out that Nita's aunt is a wizard too, but Nita doesn't find that out until later in the story. One day Nita was looking at the sea and when she turned to look away from the sea everything was different. Then this cat called Tualha comes and Nita says ,"What happened?" Tualha answered, "You went sideways in time and the way to get back is to look back at what you were looking at before this happened. The day after that Nita found a friend, Ronan, who was a wizard. When Nita went home she found out that her Aunt was a wizard. Her aunt told her all that was happening. Her Aunt told her about the 4 treasures of the earth and how they would have to reenact the war with the Fomori and Balor, for things to be normal. In that war they used all the treasures to defeat Balor. In the end Nita, Kit, Ronan, Dairine, and a lot of other wizards defeated the Fomori and Balor.

Summary: Diane Duane's big hit.
Review: I am a pre-teen/teen reader and I read the first book in this series just a month ago. I thouroughly enjoy the parts about wizardry and then on a lighter note, she shows how the characters themselves mature through out the books. I believe that these books are the best books I have ever read, and I've read a lot of books.

Summary: I will always read these books
Review: I am eighteen and have been a proud owner of each of these books. When I feel ill or upset I get them out and reread them because I love them so much. This is a perfect book and I whole heartedly recommend it to you - enjoy it.

Summary: A must-read for those already hooked on the "Wizard" series
Review: I discovered Diane Duane's "Wizard" series a year ago and have just finished reading this fourth book in the series. I was very eager to find out the latest developments in the relationships among the three main characters-- Nita, Kit, and Nita's sister Dairine. As a Young Adult writer, Duane does an excellent job of realistically and sensitively portraying the emotional growth and development of these teens. They are very believable and likable people. However, as a story in itself, I feel that "A Wizard Abroad" lacks the depth and scope of the plots in the three earlier books. The fourth book makes too many references to events in the earlier books, and the battle with the Lone Power seems pallid and repetitive now. While the Celtic references are interesting, Duane doesn't really do much to further advance or explore her wizard ideology (which, as I am an adult reader, is one of the most fascinating aspects of the other books to me). I recommend this book only if you have read the other three books and really enjoyed them, as I did. You won't be able to stand not knowing what will happen next! And, from the ending of "A Wizard Abroad", it looks like there will be more to come!

Summary: AMAZING!!
Review: I discovered this book by my friend. I bought all 5 books at the same time and I have read all of them. But this one is by far the best. Nita is sent off to Ireland to stay with her Aunt Annie for long weeks. Her parents have sent her there because they want her to take a break from kit and all this wizardry. But of course with in 3 days she is put on active status. Something is going terribly wrong in Ireland and she was sent there by the Powers That Be. Again she comes face to face with the Lone One. Many secrets and surprised happen in this book. One of her newly made friends turns out to be something she didn't expect! This book will leave you on the edge of your seat throughout the whole book. I finished this book within one day and I couldn't put it down. If you buy it trust me it's worth it.
