Summary: Exciting Book
Review: This book was very suspenseful. I was really surprised when Nita asked her dog where Kit was and he answered. One minute they're walking along the beach and the next minute they turn into whales. This book was kind of dramatic, but it had its funny parts too. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes an exciting and humorous book.

Summary: A Book Left Untouched
Review: I got this book for CHRISTMAS and it looked really stupid. about half a year later i got so bored with my other books that i started reading it. it wasn't the best book i have ever read for two reasons 1: i read at an average of 150+ books a year and it is hard to pick favorites 2: i read a recent book that i simply fell in love with. it is by Annette Curtis Klause, and if you liked this series you will also enjoy anything by her. so A young wisards series is my second Favorite book series. i learned two things from reading this fantastic book. 1: never ever judge a book by its cover 2: i love fantsy novels!!!

Summary: AWESOME!!!
Review: i really loved this book. however, watch out, because i ended up crying when i thought Nita was about to die....... i wont tell you whether or not she actually did. the book was great, and i would reccomend it to anyone. i personally thought it better than the first one, because i could keep track of who was who, for there were a LOT less characters. my favorite person was Nita, but Kit and Ed draw a VERY close second. Make sure to read the first book before the second, however, or you will get pretty confused. i cant wait to read the next one!!!!

Summary: Deep adventure
Review: This is the second book in the Young Wizards series, and many of the ideas presented here are "deep," but wonderfully so. In the first book, So You Want to be a Wizard, Nita and Kit have bought time and requested help from the higher powers, which leaves them indebted to the greater powers. This book illustrates that sometimes, there is a price for using up a resource. Repaying a debt is not always easy, nor is it a light matter to take from someone who may not really expect repayment, but hopes for and counts on your repayment (and if you choose not to repay, there are prices yet again to pay that cannot be avoided). Although it may feel good in a way to Nita to know that people believe in her and count on her to follow through, first with repaying her debt and secondly with making the ultimate sacrifice, it is also a heavy burden that sometimes she wonders if she can carry.Duane plunges the reader into the water's depths along with Nita and Kit as they change form and become ocean animals. It's interesting and intriguing to "spend time" in such a setting, and to hear voices of other ocean animals - and feel (and see) their joys and sorrows. I fell in love with Ed, who had a witty, gruff, likable yet believable voice, and who takes a bite out of the typical idea that killer sharks are "mean and bad." Will Ed also take a bite out of Nita when the song is sung and the time is right? Pick up the book and find out!

Summary: Great but not that great
Review: This book was well put together but got me really confused. I could not figure out who was who and what was what. Otherwise this book was pretty good.

Summary: Love It!
Review: Nita and Kit are two young wizards who had a series of odd events happen in the first book in this trilogy "So You Want to be a Wizard". In the second, and best, book in this series, they have gone on vacation to Long Island with Nita's parents. They go out one night to practice walking on water when a dolphin finds them and brings them to a fatally injured whale whom they heal and discover is a fellow wizard. The whale's mentor has recently been killed and she is in charge of a great ceremony to bind the evil force that Nita and Kit had run into in their first adventure. And Nita agrees to the part of the Silent Lord in that ceremony little realizing what price she will have to pay. This is one of the best books I've read. I discovered it when I was twelve and have read it so many times the front cover fell off and the top right corner of every page is rounded they've been turned so many times. Definitely a book for younger people, but it's still a fun read and you get more of the issues if you read it later on. And when my daughter gets older I'm going to pass it on to her.

Summary: Deep into Deep Wizardry
Review: This book is fun for all teenage ages and above. The way it was written was easy to read and understand. If the books get better than this they have to be sent from heaven. Daine Duane has really out done herself this time. I can not wait to read the rest of her wonderful books. Nita and Kit have become my two best firends in the books. I feel if I know them my whole life. I really enjoyed the books.

Summary: Literally Deep
Review: As the second book in Diane Duane's wizardry series, Deep Wizardry emphasizes the pwer of friendship. Duane does an excellent job of demonstrating a theme of the need for friends and family while keeping the suspense throughout the climax. Nita and KIt are at the beach with Nita's family when they are called into action as wizards. Befirending a whale, a dolphin, and a big shark named Ed would never seem like a possibility. What is more unbelievable to the reader, is how human-like the animales are. Nita will undergo a struggle trying to keep their wizardry away from those who love her. Nita and Kit prepared for the "Song of Twelve," without first knowing the consequences. Many important things in life are needed for success. Through their wizardry, Nita and Kit have become close friends. They decide that they are in it together, but they don't realize how deep that goes. On a supposed vacation they find themselves 'on active status.' Probably the first time they realize that they are always on duty. Going out into the ocean to help the whale wizards is a danger they deicide to risk. Kit and Nita realize the real bond between them when each begins to worry about the other. Along the way, Kit and Nita meet a few interesting people, or should I say animals?! Duane exercises anthropomorphism, and attributes human characteristics to animals. A whale named S'reee becomes a motherly figure, she is a strong and fearless leader despite her young age. Hotshot, a dolphin, is just that! He is like many humans who like to show off. The big threat is a great white shark named Ed, or that's what they call the 'Pale Slayer.' Nita learns to respect Ed as the young respect the elder, but the real surprise is when Ed begins to respect Nita. They even become friends. In wizardry you need the support of your family and those who love you, just as in life. Nita and Kit, however, try to keep their wizardry a secret from Nita's family. The big problem with this, it not their curiosity of Nita and Kit's absence but the need for their support. Eventually, Nita and Kit explain their situation and are filled with the love and compassion they need to endure it. During the "Song of Twelve," comes the true test of sacrifice. Who is willing to give up their life for others? Who will rescue those in danger? Sometimes it's hard to have faith and trust that everything will work out. True friends are separated from the phony in the face of danger, and Nita figures that out. If becoming a whale isn't bad enough, taking the responsibilities of one is worse. The denouement or conclusion of the story was well written by Duane. Something we didn't expect came out of the friendships that Nita formed. In conclusion, the themes that Duane wanted to make evident are seen not only in the book, but in everyday life. Nita needs the support of her family and close friends to have faith that her sacrifice will bring good. It is important for Nita to stick to her word even though she didn't know what she was agreeing to. Without love and companionship, it is hard to have trust. Without doubt and fear, it is hard to call something a sacrifice. Mostly, without teamwork, you can't have success.
