Sorcerers In Space
Description:... It is 1969, at
the height of tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. Neil, 13, badly
wants to be someone. Instead he's stuck as a sorcerer's apprentice for Gus, the
"meanest sorcerer in the world.” Gus creates a magical talisman to spy on
the Soviets, but instead it spies on them and sends text into space. A Giant Face
in the Sky shows up, reading the text.
Since whoever
gets to the Face will have the world at their mercy, the Race to the Face
begins. The Soviets invade the U.S. in their attempts to kill Neil, who is
prophesied to defeat them. A floating, talking meteor assassin named Buzz
becomes Neil's companion--but in one week, Buzz must kill Neil.
President Kennedy
puts together a motley crew that includes Neil, Gus, Buzz, a dragon, a 2-D sorcerer,
and the sorceress Jackie Kennedy. Can they make it to the Face before the
Soviets, and before Buzz kills Neil?
