Wizard at Work by Vivian Vande Velde
Wizards are supposed to be old men with pointy hats, so the young wizard professor at the center of this story makes himself look like an old man during the school year. He puts his disguise away at the beginning of his summer vacation and looks forward to a few months of puttering around the garden growing vegetables he won’t eat, when a chance encounter with a witch sets him off on a series of adventures to discover that appearances don’t always match reality.
Wizard at Work by Vivian Vande Velde is a collection of humorous takes on familiar fairy tale staples.
