Timothy Hunter may be destined to become the most powerful magician in the universe, but he's still a London teenager, and having magical abilities is about to turn his world upside down... From award-winning writer Kat Howard, the Books of Magic series will captivate your interest from the start! Timothy Hunter is destined to be the world's most powerful magician—at least, that's what he's been told. In the meantime, though, he's just a regular teenager trying to deal with distant parents, school bullies, and adolescent crushes—and magic isn't helping with any of it. The forces of the supernatural seem to have it in for him. There are more than a few shadowy figures who will stop at nothing to eliminate what they see as a deadly threat to the balance of power—and those are the good guys. In order for Tim to survive long enough to fulfill his destiny, he'll have to learn how to control his burgeoning abilities as well as figure out whom he can trust—and who wants him dead. This journey of discovery begins with a new teacher named Ms. Rose, a homeless woman named Mad Hettie, and an owl named Yo-Yo—and it will lead him from suburban London straight to the heart of the Dreaming. Collects Books of Magic #1-6 and The Sandman Universe #1.
