In Forced Magic, Jack Dewitte starts his incredible journey into a new world. It started with just simply walking out his front door. With just a few steps, the world of magic begins to be revealed. Across a busy street is a beautiful fairy desperately trying to get his attention. With a step out into the street (resulting in Jack almost getting run over), Jack's whole life will be changed forever.
The fairy disappears, but the magic continues as Jack has to befriend a dragon, fight a group of goblins, and find a wizard that has promised to help him.
With a knapsack full of money and the knowledge that his brother has no memory of who Jack is, a quest begins that puts this ordinary fantasy fan in the path of Gnomes, elves, and garbage-eating trolls as he struggles just to fit in in this magic world where it seems that someone wants him dead.
Loved this book! Fantasy at its finest. Great for 8th grade and up (and advanced reading younger kids). Loved the storyline. Peaked my curiosity quickly and kept it up throughout the book. Moments of laughter, sadness, and anger. I loved traveling with Jack through his story. Highly recommend this book!
