The Monster in the Lake (Kit the Wizard #2)

by Louie Stowell (Author) Davide Ortu (Illustrator)

Reading Level: 4th − 5th Grade
Series: Kit the Wizard

When wild magic starts causing trouble at the park, wizard Kit and her friends investigate--and find themselves on another journey to save the world.

A lively and witty sequel to The Dragon in the Library. Kit may be the youngest wizard ever, but she sure doesn't feel like the best wizard. Her magic just keeps going wrong, and other weird stuff is happening, too: talking animals, exploding fireballs, and a very strange new arrival in the local park. Even Dogon (the half dog, half dragon) is droopy! So Kit and her two best friends--animal-whispering Alita and studious Josh--set off with Faith the librarian to investigate this wild magic that's causing so much commotion.

Their journey takes them to a Scottish loch, where they meet an eco-conscious wizard and some very grumpy mermaids (careful, they pinch!). But the danger is greater than they imagined, and it will take everybody's help to set things right again. This action-packed adventure features plenty of humor, a diverse cast, and delightful illustrations.

Review quotes


Louie Stowell
Louie Stowell started her career writing carefully researched books about space, ancient Egypt, politics, and science, but eventually lapsed into just making stuff up. The author of the Kit the Wizard series, she was inspired by her research into Norse myths to write Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Being Good, which became a number-one UK bestseller, and its sequel, Loki: A Bad God's Guide to Taking the Blame. Louie Stowell writes full-time in London, where she lives with her wife, Karen; their dog, Buffy; and a creepy puppet that is probably cursed.
