I love the cover so much I made it larger. I just felt like Rin was so Hagrid like :)
Ozzy's parents mysteriously move the family to a deserted area near Portland, OR when he was about 7. Shortly after they moved however they were taken by some men and Ozzy was left alone. Fortunately his parents had stockpiled canned foods, he knew how to read, and he was able to survive. Over the years he found tapes that his father had recorded and a mechanical bird his father had invented. But he became curious and started venturing out - to the surrounding area and eventually to school. Finally, he decided to really start looking for his parents, and after seeing an ad in the local flyer about a Wizard for Hire, he met Rin.
Just who is Rin? A real wizard or a delusion man? It didn't really matter because together they were able to track down what happened to Ozzy's parents and why. Along the way Ozzy also made friends with Rin's daughter and learned some important lessons.
This was a fun book. Rin was a hoot - again Hagrid like - and Ozzy's innocence and efforts were awesome. Clark the bird was also great. I really enjoyed this. A sequel is hinted at but not necessary.
