Rating: High Five
Who I'd Recommend to: Fans of Harry Potter, A Tail of Camelot, Swordbird, and the Inheritance Cycle series.
Synopsis (from Amazon): The good wizards and witches are leading modern, extraordinary lives, going about their day-to-day business in a peaceful manner, hidden from the rest of the world.
Then along comes an evil old wizard who breaks an ancient truce. He builds a bumbling, backward and outrageously dim-witted Dark Army ... intent on causing mayhem.
Four young wizards and witches plus a loveable little dragon and a very hungry, zany snake are drawn into perilous situations followed by an unexpected showdown with the not-so-good wizards and witches.

Thoughts: When I read Harry Potter I thought it would be my favorite "good wizard bad wizard" book ever. But when I read the Great Wizard Wars by Christina Clarry, I got persuaded otherwise. This book was amazing and funny! One of my favorite characters was Ghnashers - a giant snake - always has a funny comment to say. For example, at the end of the book he said, 'well if I'm living with you I won't go to school to study with you.' The Great Wizard Wars is also creative mix between new school and old school, as it has magic and androids. When I started this book, I thought it would be just another funny, creative magic book. However, this was definitely one of my favorite magic books ever.
