Wizard's Holiday Wizard's Holiday by Diane Duane
reviewed by Cindy Lynn Speer
Nita's little sister Dairine has decided that they both need a break from Earth. She signs them up for a student exchange program without asking anyone for permission. When she's found out, her father grounds her, but after some thought decides that Nita should still go, with her friend and partner in wizardry, Kit. Dairine can stay home and tend to the students, fellow wizards from other worlds, while Kit and Nita enjoy a vacation on a planet that seems like paradise. Under the surface of this paradise, though, Nita can sense something is wrong.

Stealing the Elf-King's Roses Stealing the Elf-King's Roses by Diane Duane
reviewed by Regina Lynn Preciado
This is as much a mystery novel as it is science fiction. Sure, the story involves alternate universes, takes for granted technologies we won't see for generations yet, and stars a crime-fighting team composed of a Sighted woman and a wolfhound-like alien. But it's still a first-rate murder mystery. It's also the best kind of science fiction.

The Young Wizards Series The Young Wizards Series by Diane Duane
reviewed by Georges T. Dodds
The series tells of the adventures of the young teen wizards Nita Callahan and Kit Rodriguez along with Nita's kid sister Dairine, as they use wizardry to defeat the chaotic plans of the Lone One, master of entropy. The imaginative and meticulously detailed locations for these battles include an alternate New York City, deep-sea waters beneath the Atlantic, interstellar space, a magic-saturated Ireland, and inside a diseased human body. Their descriptions and that of the characters are such that it is easy to suspend disbelief, enter this world of young wizards and empathize with them as they face their enemy. The rapid pace, diverse adventures and genuine threat of what they are up against make the books the exciting page-turners they are.

To Visit the Queen To Visit the Queen by Diane Duane
reviewed by Todd Richmond
The story begins when a college student turns a corner at a London Underground station and finds himself suddenly 100 years in the past. In his panic, he drops the book he is carrying -- Van Nostrand's Scientific Encyclopedia. Then, miraculously, he returns to his own time, sans book. Implications? Our feline wizards are about to find out...

The Book of Night with Moon The Book of Night with Moon by Diane Duane
reviewed by Todd Richmond
Todd feels the book is an excellant addition addition to Duane's Wizardry series. The detailed descriptions of her creation mythology and some of the magical underpinnings of her series will delight most readers. If you have cats, you should enjoy Duane's unique vision of what those cats may be doing when you're not looking.
