"Support Your Local Wizard" is a compilation volume of the first three stories (So You Want to Be a Wizard, Deep Wizardry, & High Wizardry) in the "Young Wizards Series", and tell the tale of two grade school children who discover they are wizards, and are recruited into the local wizards union (for lack of a better term).
Juanita "Nita" Callahan is a young girl who is constantly being bullied by few other girls in her school, and who finds a book (or does it find her?) in her local library when she hiding out from the gang. She teams up with another young wizard Christopher "Kit" Rodriguez, and have a series of interesting adventures.
Now while some people may be inclined t equate these stories with another tale of wizardry about a boy with a scar on his forehead, these stores were written many years before so banish the thought.
I found these stories to be very well written, and while the second is somewhat darker that the first it allows for significant world building, and the three novels work well together. When I first read these I though this was all there was to the series, but I have since discovered that Ms. Duane has written seven more in the series, which I now have to go and find.
A great series.
