Description
Ozzy Toffy's adventure, which began in Wizard for Hire, continues when one dark and windy night, he gets out of bed, jumps out his window, and walks straight into the ocean.
More than ever, Ozzy could really use the services of Rin, the wizard he hired to help find his parents—but Rin is missing, despite Ozzy's continual attempts to contact him. And Clark, the mechanical bird his father left him, is as peculiar and vain as ever.
When a mysterious package arrives, Ozzy and his good friend Sigi are sure that the plane ticket and thumb drive they find inside are from Rin. Trying to get Clark through security at the airport proves complicated—as most things are with Clark. But when they arrive in New York, they discover there's even more adventure in store for them.
Will Rin return and save the day? Will Ozzy figure out why he keeps walking into the ocean? Can Sigi find a way to trust her delinquent father? Will someone please appreciate Clark the way he'd like to be appreciated? For once?

"There are two kinds of people in the moody, magical world of Apprentice Needed: those who are opposed to imagination, and those who understand what a powerful force it can be. The second novel in the Wizard for Hire series revisits the adventures of Ozzy, the wizard Rin, and a mechanical bird named Clark as they try to uncover the origins of a mysterious mind-control serum. Obert Skye has created a believable, lively world of magic and make-believe.
Whatever Rin's shortcomings, he has one great strength: he believes in Ozzy and magic, and is willing to power through whatever wild goose chase lies ahead. Sigi, Rin's daughter, is especially well-drawn, and her droll adolescent attitude is a nice foil for her dad's aggressive optimism.
This main plot would be sufficient to support the entire novel, but a second story is Turduckened inside it: Rin wants Ozzy to become his apprentice so that he can move on to the next level of wizardry. Both of these plots are well-developed...Apprentice For Hire is an ambitious second book that is full of wonderful, transporting exposition and realistic characters who pursue better-than-realistic adventures."

Fifteen-year-old Ozzy Toffy is still settling into his new life beyond the solitary house in the woods when a series of events puts everything and everyone he loves in jeopardy in this sequel to Wizard for Hire (2018).Life is never dull for Ozzy, his friend Sigi, and his mechanical bird, Clark. Wizard Rin phones, saying simply that "things are happening." Indeed: Ozzy sleepwalks into the ocean, guided by his buzzing finger, and a mysterious man delivers a zip drive containing a plane ticket for travel to New York City. Believing Rin is behind the subterfuge, Sigi, Ozzy, and Clark board a plane only to find themselves confronted by Ray Dench, an evil and powerful man, who is determined to use and then dispose of Ozzy. Even though they manage to escape Ray's henchmen, Ozzy is still troubled by his buzzing finger, and Sigi continues to struggle to trust Rin, who is also her estranged father. It's the characters that (mostly) make the book work. Clark is an amusing diversion with his dry humor and obsession with mechanical objects. While Rin's suspicious lack of magical ability throws his wizardry into question, Ozzy's continuing wonder with the world is the real magic. The book adheres to the white default, brown-skinned Sigi a notable exception. Ozzy's fascination with her skin and her devotion to Ozzy make her characterization troubling.A sequel that (mostly) continues to deliver mystery, humor, and real-life magic.

Grades 4-7 Rin, the madcap titular wizard for hire, is back again, and just in time! Ozzy, who hired him the first time (Wizard for Hire, 2018) to find his kidnapped parents, is in deep trouble. He's discovered that his parents experimented on him with a mind-control drug and he can be forced to do anything?even jump out of windows and walk into the ocean. But Rin needs a favor in return. To be truly respected among other wizards, he needs an apprentice, and he thinks Ozzy will be perfect. Ozzy, though, has his doubts. Joined by Ozzy's friend Sigi and his mechanical bird, Clark, the two go to New York and beyond, hoping to free Ozzy from the strange and powerful drug. Soon, the weird magical quartet runs afoul of the evil, angry millionaire Ray Dench, who wants to control the world with the hypnotizing serum. Skye does not disappoint with this silly sequel. It's as fun and fantastical as the first and filled to the brim with good laughs. An adventure for any collection.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)

In book one of the series, Ozzy saw the classified ad in his local paper for a "Wizard for Hire" and discovered there was a wizard right in Portland, Oregon. Ozzy was relieved when the wizard, Rin, agreed to help him find his kidnapped scientist parents, though the search was a wild series of close calls the closer they got to the truth. And although Rin had plenty of wise sayings, Ozzy doubted that Rin was an actual wizard.
Now, on one dark and windy night, Ozzy steps out of bed, jumps out his window, and walks straight into the ocean. It's as if someone is controlling Ozzy's mind. He's saved by Sigi—Rin's daughter—and Clark, a mechanical robot bird. More than ever, Ozzy could really use the services of Rin, the Wizard for Hire.
When a mysterious package arrives in the mail containing a plane ticket and a thumb drive, Ozzy is certain it's from Rin. But when Ozzy, Sigi, and Clark arrive in New York, Rin isn't there. Instead they are met by the man who was the...
