The farming community of Harper Valley has its fair share of problems, and it's counting on Wil's sigils--and dazzling flicks of the wrist--to solve them. After all, the whole of Harper Valley funded his education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, Wil's back in the family fold and working hard to fill the needs of his neighbors, who all seem to want a fast return on their investment. But whether it's mending fences, ridding a house of vermin, boosting crops, or finding lost children, Wil is ready. What the magical civil servant \u003ci\u003eisn't\u003c\/i\u003e prepared for is everyone's crotchety attitudes and exasperating skepticism--not to mention a noxious, self-serving mayor who's itching for control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Wil remains optimistic, especially as he reconnects with his childhood crush, Darlene Johnson, and a former high school bully with a remorseful change of heart. And a good thing, too. Because there's a mystical storm a-brewing and, with it, a centuries-old conflict. Bringing peace, safety, and hope to Harper Valley isn't only the biggest challenge of Wil's young wizarding career; it just might make him the local hero he was destined to become.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Podium Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781039454125\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smilingsatyr","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44241269424309,"sku":"9781039454125","price":19.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_02a907b0-a739-4deb-ae62-c1daadd24a0c.jpg?v=1717472398","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/friendly-neighborhood-wizard-a-cozy-fantasy-9781039454125","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
