The Sorcerer's Apprentice by James Ponti

I hesitated to read this book, but the previews for the movie actually looked pretty cool so of course I had to read the book. It is an incredibly short read and I finished it in two days (that's with kids and a husband interupting me). It was fun to read, but not really in depth or incredibly entertaining. It's the classic story of a nerdy kid who finds out he's a sorcerer but tries to not believe it. You have the good sorcerer that has locked the bad sorcerer's in a doll that the kid accidentally lets out and now is forced to save the world and gets the pretty girl he has been crushing on since 5th grade. It's not a book to buy and read again, but if you just want something short and quick to read for fun it's a good pick. Unfortunatly, once you start getting into more in depth books, these short, basic books are hard to really enjoy.
