A Wizard Abroad

Hardcover (Guild America Books Jan. 1, 1993)
It’s tough being a teenager and a wizard, as Nita, 14-year-old New Yorker, knows all too well. It’s even harder if your parents are obstinate. According to Nita’s folks, the whole wizard thing is getting way out of hand. They’ve decided that six weeks in the real world, on a horse farm in Ireland under the watchful eye of her Aunt Annie, will surely put their daughter back on the straight and narrow. But Ireland isn’t the safe, sensible spot that Nita’s parents imagine. In fact, it’s seething with wizardry. The ancient powers that created the Emerald Isle still traipse back and forth between the Irish present and Tir na nOg, the alternate reality they continued to inhabit after humans came. The result: they’ve opened up gaping holes in the walls that separate past, present, future and fantasy worlds. Before Nita can say sla’n (Gaelic for hello and goodbye), she’s careening between time periods like a silver ball in a pinball machine.
