Gasp - utterly perfect for my little wizard!

These Candlewick "-ology" titles are all wonderful. "Wizardology" was an instant purchase for me. My son, Ben, has been calling himself a wizard ever since Harry Potter, Charlie Bone, and Septimus Heap. Wizardology scratches that itch in a big way because it adopts a narrative tone fully immersed in the absolute belief in the veracity of wizarding. It reports on the history and nature of wizarding, full of scrapbook details and wonderful asides that breathe verisimilitude into the enterprise. It's playful and fun - and also informative of the lore (although in an oblique way). The book feels sumptuous and real and the scrapbook details are really fun and feel real. What a great fantasy role playing experience bound between two luxurious covers.
Entertaining book for the younger reader

My daughter really liked this book. I didn't read it so I can't say too much more than that.
Even for Young Adults!

Books like this - Wizardology, Dragonology, The Wandmaker's Guidebook, and other "ology" books are the very thing a young person just starting to learn about magick and paganism needs to get started. Even a young adult (age 16-24) who is just getting their first lessons could benefit from books like these. They are very practical and well-written - much too well-written to be simply dismissed as books only suitable for children. I recommend all the books in this series to kids and adults alike!!
A book just for fun!

My grandson is an avid book reader but this book makes you slow down and check out all of the envelopes and hidden agenda within the book. Fun to read and watch the children read.
YAH-AH!!! Wizards, Mages, MAGIC!!!!
