He also meets its guardian, the self-proclaimed Evil Wizard Smallbone, who calls Nick his apprentice and won't let him leave, but won't teach him magic, either. It's a good thing the bookstore takes Nick's magical education in hand, because Smallbone's nemesis -- the Evil Wizard Fidelou -- and his pack of shape-shifting bikers are howling at the borders. Smallbone might call himself evil, but compared to Fidelou, he's practically a puppy. And he can't handle Fidelou alone.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDelia Sherman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous books and short stories for adults and children, including \u003ci\u003eThe Freedom Maze\u003c\/i\u003e and \"The Ghost of Cwmlech Manor\" in \u003ci\u003eSteampunk!
