Can I give this infinity stars? 

I found the Young Wizards more than 30 years ago, a book club omnibus of the first three books caught my hand, and it was only 50¢! I've read and re-read the first three books more times than I can count, and have read the rest of the series several times over. Gave them to my oldest (now almost 24) when HE was 13, and he loved them, too.  Spent the last several nights reading this aloud to my youngest (13) and we both cried and cried at the end. 

I am so happy these books exist.  

In Life's name and for Life's sake...
