A well written, interesting read that introduces young readers to genres such as historical fiction, adventure, and mystery. The book, although for young readers kept me guessing at each turn. Worthwhile!

Read this in seventh grade and I believe I remember liking it... I learned what a niche was and what ladies in waiting were... I also remember wanting to read ahead to figure out the mystery.

Another book from childhood. This one taught me "niche."

This is seriously one of my very favorite childhood books. I loved the way it was written. The characters were alluring and the story's pacing was so incredibly engrossing. Iconic read.

With several surprises and plot twists that work nicely, this is a well written book I spent an hour or two with this weekend.

"In 1491, in the Kingdom of Pergamontio, there lived a twelve-year-old boy by the name of Fabrizio. He was the sole servant of Magnus the Magician."

Fabrizio and his master, Mangus the magician, are called to the palace by the king to determine if his daughter is really seeing a ghost. Fabrizio finds himself in the middle of a plot to take over the kingdom. Can he and his master get out of the palace alive? A charming story of plotting courtiers, ghosts, murdered princes, and magic.

Simply one of my favourite books ever. Read it as a kid and still like to go back to it every few years - especially on stormy summer nights.
