What happens between book 9 of the Young Wizards series, "A Wizard of Mars," and the forthcoming book 10, "Games Wizards Play"? Diane Duane answers the question in this volume, collecting together the three canonical works that constitute a "transitional trilogy" between books 9 and 10 -- a 150,000-word extravaganza of untold tales to help keep you going until the tenth book comes out in February 2016. "Interim Errantry" contains: The novella "Not On My Patch", the tale of an unusual Halloween in the Young Wizards' neighborhood, featuring overage Trick Or Treating, suburban zombies, and the Attack of the Killer Pumpkins. The novelette "How Lovely Are Thy Branches", a holiday-themed Young Wizards story in which an alien wizard who looks a lot like a Christmas tree gets the gift he wants most -- decorations -- and a memorable party and sleepover party are disrupted by a superblizzard and an incursion of alien ghosts. And finally, the new original Young Wizards novel "Lifeboats", the tale of a distant world threatened by unavoidable doom, an intervention that takes thousands of Earth's wizards, young and old, into harm's way, and a Valentine's Day that absolutely doesn't go as planned...

It's a fun holiday for the wizards, because it's one of the few occasions on which they can be relatively open with their magic--and this year, it's Tom and Carl's turn to host the "haunted house" that rotates among the local senior wizards. At the start of the story, Nita is reluctant to cut into the pumpkin that is supposed to be the Callahan family's jack o'lantern, but she finally does what any wizard would do: asks it. Jackie has an entirely different perspective on life and death than animal life, and is happy to be a jack o'lantern. Nita's wizard friends are a little amused when they realize she's named it, slightly concerned when she refers to Jackie as "he," and of course it's inevitable that Jackie will become a key factor in resisting a sneak attack by the Lone Power, who tries to make Halloween really scary again. This was a lot of fun.How Lovely Are Thy Branches is a novelette featuring the young wizards' old friend Filif, the tree-like alien wizard who was a houseguest of the Callahans in a previous adventure. Thanksgiving is coming, and Nita is having a very hard time with this first Thanksgiving without her mother. She wishes they could skip right to Christmas--and Kit's sister Carmella pulls Nita into planning a holiday party and sleepover for a few days before Christmas. The guest list will include their offworld wizard friends, including Filif--who has been excited about Christmas ever since he learned Earth people had a holiday involving bringing trees inside and decorating them. This one, unfortunately, is a nice enough story, but very slight.Lifeboats is a short novel, and the real meat of this collection. The planet of Teveral is about to become uninhabitable; its moon, Thesba, is starting to break up and will rain its fragments down on the planet. There's very little time to move the inhabitants and enough of their biosphere elsewhere to save them, and the job is complicated by the fact that not all the Teveralites are willing to go. It's a huge undertaking, and Nita, Kit, and Ronan are among the wizards drafted to help manage the worldgates that will transfer those willing to evacuate to their new homes. Nita and Kit are assigned to different areas, and Kit spends his off-shift time getting to know colleagues of species he hasn't encountered before, and the Teveralites' octopus-like pets, called sibiks. One of those sibiks gets lost from its owners, who are among the natives refusing to leave, and begs crackers from Kit. And as Kit gets to know this particular sibik, and realizes how much he wants to get back to his family, he also finds an important clue to why so many are refusing to leave. This might be the key to making this intervention more successful than anyone had hoped. This is the strongest of the three stories, and it's funny, heartbreaking, and moving by turns. And while I'm not sure about the other two, this one is published in this collection for the first time, and is Hugo-eligible for the 2016 awards at MidAmericonII.The is is a very satisfying collection for fans of the Young Wizards. Recommended.I bought this book.

Unlike the other books , were the wizards go into the clinch with the Lone Power , these tales are different of feel , they are more about friendship and not so much about the never ending conflict with entropy . They are just as good , just as exiting and interesting as usual but it's more about working in a group . The first is about Halloween - of course things go wrong and there is lively action - spoiler alert ! ( zombies ) . The second is about Christmas - with a live tree and a lot of laughter and jokes - the third about Valentine's day - will Kit get his nerve up and tell Nita how he feels or not ? In between they have to save an alien race ,explain Earth movies to aliens and firmly put two hooligans on the right path . No job is too small or big for the wizards . So they are all about holidays , they all include a group of friends - old ones , new ones - on how to party with aliens and family alike and about good times . They are great tales , all three of them . The last one was very technical about gates , I learned a lot , it's like the technology is really out there . I definitely will reread that one and take notes , it was very interesting . And this from someone who has sometimes trouble with getting on internet . All in all , I would recommend these tales as a good addition to your library if you are already familiar with the universe of the young wizards . I would not recommend that you start with these , you might drown in the many names and references . Start with the first book , still one of the best .

Harry Potter taught me how to read. Young wizards taught me that other books were worthy of the same attention as Harry Potter, if not more.The first time I read one was forced on my by my 6th grade teacher, and it was Wizards Abroad. And when I realized there was more, no one could keep me away from the books.I have been an avid follower of the series ever since and when new books come out, it's like Christmas. And this one especially. Ha.Two wonderful short stories that have little or really no conflict in them, and instead are just the overworked Heroes getting some much needed relaxing and bonding time. One novel length story that deals with issues even our heroes haven't yet faced. This books everything.And as the series growers, so the characters and the author grow, and the content. Parts of this read much more of a true young adult book ( meant for young 20 somethings) then a teen reading material. And there is not one thing wrong with that at all.Since that first book all those years ago I've expanded my lain ready so much that the top 5 spots of my favorite, absolutely best loved books ever, have been very coveted and fought over constantly by books and characters. And this books just barged in and earned itself one of those a 5 spots, sitting unabashed among giants such as Thud from The Discworld series and the Wolves of the Calla from The Gunslinger series.
