Wizard West was dead for nearly an entire day before he noticed. And it is up to Faye, the daughter of West's groundskeeper, to inform the wizard that he is a ghost who has lost all of his magical powers. (But not before the wizard tries transforming her into a cat!) To make matters worse, the enchanted castle of Celurdur--the only home that Faye has ever known--will fall apart at the next full moon if its foundation spells can't be renewed. After (sort of) accepting his demise, West decides to host a competition to choose his successor. Faye finds herself fighting to keep the tournament running smoothly behind the scenes: putting out kitchen fires, feeding the compost dragon, and making sure competitors stay away from the cockatrice pen. But killer roosters soon become the least of her worries. A servant of the evil Shadow Queen has sabotaged the contest--set on destroying not just Celurdur but the entire kingdom of Solum. It is up to Faye to stop him, but she'll need more than a mop. Will a maid's magic be enough to save everything she loves from utter destruction?

Fantasy fiction, Juvenile.
