This action-packed conclusion of the acclaimed Jinx trilogy is perfect for readers of fantasy adventure series such as Septimus Heap,Tthe Sisters Grimm, and Fablehaven.
The young wizard Jinx concludes his suspenseful and dryly humorous adventures in the magical forest of the Urwald with this third installment in the series that ALA Booklist says “deserves a permanent place in the children’s fantasy pantheon, with Narnia and Earthsea” (Jinx's Magic, starred review).
The forest is under attack and its magic is fading. Can Jinx summon enough of his magic—the bright fire within him—to rescue Simon, defeat the Bonemaster, unite the Urwald, and fight off the invaders?
He is the Urwald's only hope. . . .

What reviewers said
“Blackwood offers a story of enchanting texture and depth, and series fans will be elated to have another outing with the sweetly sardonic hero, whose conscience is almost as troublesome as his grasp of spells. Fans of Cornelia Funke should add this to their stacks.”
“A solid conclusion to a trilogy...threaded with proper amounts of heroism, humor and ingenious twists of character.”
“Blackwood keeps an astonishing number of balls in the air for this third book, exploiting facets of her versatile magical world by means of multiple alliances, complex plans of attack, and sticky wizardly puzzles to solve. It’s the puzzles within Jinx himself, however, that give the tale its heart.”
“The author’s multifaceted invention and sprawling, brawling, well-delineated cast combine forces for a tight, cohesive conclusion.”
Praise for JINX’S MAGIC: “This series deserves a permanent place in the children’s fantasy pantheon, with Narnia and Earthsea.”
Praise for JINX’S MAGIC: “The unique setting, smart pace, likable characters, and sprightly voice hold the narrative together while keeping Jinx’s fans eager for more.”
