The Wizards of Once (The Wizards of Once, #1)
Cressida Cowell
This is the story of a young boy Wizard and a young girl Warrior who have been taught to hate each other like poison; and the thrilling tale of what happens when their two worlds collide. Perfect for boys and girls who love fantasy adventure ... Once there was Magic, and the Magic lived in the dark forests. Wizard boy, Xar, should have come in to his magic by now, but he hasn't, so he wants to find a witch and steal its magic for himself. But if he's got any chance of finding one, he will have to travel into the forbidden Badwoods. Xar doesn't realise he is about to capture an entirely different kind of enemy. A Warrior girl called Wish. And inside this book, at this very moment, two worlds collide and the fate of the land is changed forever. Xar and Wish must visit the dungeons at Warrior fort, and face the evil Queen. But something that has been sleeping for hundreds of years is stirring ...

I absolutely adore this. I decided to listen to the audiobook after hearing great things about the narrator, and boy was it worth it, but I also had the physical copy and I just adored the art through out the book. It really made me feel like a child had drawn them sporadically about the book.
They was far more interesting with the audiobook, it included voices, sound effects, background music which really brought the experience to life.
It’s a solid fun start to a new adventure with Warriors and Magicians, and the evil witches. The story stays on track and keeps you interested the whole way through. It’s a fun adventure.
0First off I listened to the audiobook SOLELY because David Tennant was the narrator. It’s a kids book, and I’m an adult and still enjoyed it. I put it on my list for my kids future library!
I think it’s fun the POV is from the narrator so it’s already fun and goofy, then it’s got a pretty fun story attached. It’s lighthearted fantasy which is fun to read sometimes.
