Summary

In "The Lakewood Boys on the Lazy S," L. P. Wyman intricately weaves a coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of the American West. Through vivid descriptions and engaging dialogue, Wyman introduces us to a group of boys from Lakewood who embark on a summer journey to the Lazy S ranch, igniting themes of friendship, adventure, and self-discovery. The literary style melds a blend of realism and youthful exuberance, while the context of post-war America provides a nostalgic lens that reflects the challenges and liberated spirit of mid-20th century youth cultures. L. P. Wyman, an author with a deep appreciation for both nature and the American ethos, likely drew from personal experiences in his own youth, fostering connections through outdoor adventures. His storytelling is informed by a lifetime of engagement with regional landscapes and a keen awareness of the societal changes occurring during his time, which he adeptly captures in the boys' interactions and challenges faced on their journey. This book is highly recommended for readers seeking an authentic portrayal of boyhood camaraderie and the exploration of identity. Wyman's evocative prose invites readers to reflect on their own formative experiences, making "The Lakewood Boys on the Lazy S" a timeless tale that resonates across generations.

    The New York Times–bestselling author returns to the Magykal world of her “deliciously spellbinding” fantasy series with this eBook exclusive novella (Kirkus, starred review of Septimus Heap: Magyk). 
 
In this tale that takes place between the stories told in Magyk and Flyte, the witches of the Port Witch Coven want DomDaniel’s powerful Darke Toad—and will go to ridiculous lengths to get their hands on it. But first, Simon Heap must get his master to the Port Witch Coven’s door, which may require a bit more Darke Magyk—and a much stronger stomach—than he bargained for. Is Simon up to the task? 
 
Meanwhile, ExtraOrdinary Wizard Marcia Overstrand has taken her young Apprentice, Septimus Heap, on a field trip to the Port. But what Marcia had hoped would be a fun yet educational outing quickly turns chaotic, for it slipped Marcia’s mind that tonight is Hallowseeth—the perfect night for Darke mischief to go unnoticed among the revelers. 
 
With Angie Sage’s characteristic humor, beloved characters, and Magykal setting, Septimus Heap: The Darke Toad is a must-read for every Septimus fan.
