About the author
Rick Just
26 books17 followersI am a native Idahoan who grew up on a ranch along the Blackfoot River. I am a former Marine, a whitewater kayaker, a sculptor, a sports car buff and the alpha male of my mutt pack.
As a student, I served as editor of Boise State University's nationally acclaimed literary magazine, cold-drill. My undergraduate degree from BSU is in English/Communication. I also have a Masters of Public Administration from Boise State.
During Idaho's Centennial, I wrote and produced the official Centennial radio series, "Idaho Snapshots," which aired daily on stations statewide. The program won the Governor's Take Pride in Idaho award and was honored in the national Take Pride in America program. My book of the same name contains about half the programs from the radio series.
My young adult books, Wizard Chase , Wizard Girl and Wizards' End are one, two and three of the Wizards Trilogy. My adult novel Keeping Private Idaho takes a wry look at the xenophobia that occasionally pops up in the Gem State. I was the editor of "100 Years, Idaho and its Parks" the centennial history of Idaho's state parks system.
I am the past president of the Presto Preservation Association and the Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals. I have served on the boards of the Learning Lab and ANSER Charter School and am a member of the Idaho Writers Guild.

This review is for the Kindle edition ebook.
Disclosure: I was asked to do a review of this book by the author.
A good story about wizards and dragons for all ages.
With his daughter failing to return from the land of wizards, the father must return to Kimyra. He will have to convince the creature guarding the tunnel that his only reason for returning is to bring his daughter home. Of course, upon entering Kimyra, Jarrett once again is taken in by the wizard that befriended him as a child. Who will rescue who? Find out in this third and final book of the trilogy.
A strong girl who is allowed to be strong. A father who doesn't always see through deception. Excitement combined with a fast-paced story, and it stays true to the first two books. This is a great conclusion to the series.
Rick Just writes because stories are in his head, and need to come out. Good books aimed at teens and young adults can be hard to come by. This story shows the young reader that persistence can overcome the challenges in our lives, even when those challenges seem to be overpowering.
I would recommend this story to teens and young adults. It is a very well written, fun to read book. If you have not read "Wizard Chase" by this author, I would recommend reading it first, it will help you to understand the context better. This is the third book of the series. I have been entertained by these stories, and look forward to reading more by this author.
I did read this for the second time in August 2014, because it had been so long before writing the review. I enjoyed it just as much the second time.

Being almost three years since I read the first two books in the series, I found that it didn't take me any time to refamiliarize myself with the main characters from this trilogy. I liked the fact that Gerrald was going to have to return to Kimyra and that he was now an adult. I found that to be an interesting twist.
Once again, Rick Just weaves a magical story about the struggle for good to overcome evil. This is also a story about how a young girl realizes that a little adventure can sometimes lead to a lot of trouble. I like the way that Kat grows in this story and I hated saying goodbye to a good friend. Wizards' End is a great ending to this wonderful trilogy that mixes science fiction with fantasy.
So, pick up a copy of Wizard Chase, Wizard Girl and Wizards' End. You will love all three books. I wish Rick Just would write another in this series as young readers, and adults too, will want to know what else will happen on Kimyra. There are still many adventures to be had and a lot of loose threads to be tied.
I rated this book a 9 out of 10.
