The Wizard's Dog by Eric Kahn Gale

The Wizard's Dog by Eric Kahn Gale

A magical story full of humor and heart. --Katherine Applegate, Newbery-winning author of The One and Only Ivan

For fans of The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom comes an offbeat, comedic spin on the Excalibur legend told from the point of view of a talking dog who wants to be a magician

Meet Nosewise. He's spunky. He's curious. And he's a dog who can't understand why his pack mates Merlin and Morgana spend all day practicing magic tricks. If it's a trick they want, he's the dog to ask He can already Sit , Stay , and Roll Over

But there's no way Nosewise is Stay ing when his master and best friend, Merlin, is kidnapped. There's nothing Nosewise won't do to get Merlin back, even if it means facing the strange Fae people and their magic-eating worms, or tangling with the mysterious Sword in the Stone. But it may take more than sniffing out a spell to do it

Nosewise's hilarious escapades and steadfast loyalty get him and his companions through King Arthur's Dark Ages.

An entertaining adventure full of humor and magic -Booklist

A delightful magical fantasy, perfect for fans of fairy tales, legends, and dogs. -School Library Journal

An ingenious and entirely credible (at least dog lovers will agree with this) twist on the familiar tale. -Kirkus Reviews

Nosewise is one of the silliest narrators around. --The Bulletin

The Wizard's Dog was started by Eric Kahn Gale as a joke for his fiancée. He'd taunt that their dog, Bowser, was enthralled with the magical doors in their apartment that let him out or brought him food. It was only a short step from a ridiculous mimicry to Nosewise's feisty voice. Eric is the author of several books, including The Bully Book and The Zoo at the End of the Earth. He lives in Chicago with his fiancée and Bowser, their nonmagical yet adoring dog. Erik can be found on Twitter (@erickahngale) and Facebook (@erickahngale).
