In Substitute Wizard, Rianna Keats, an eighth grader at Keatman Academy, a school in Malibu, California, strangely assembled from the stones of a Welsh castle, monastery, and town, thinks that
her substitute English teacher is a wizard. On her quest for the truth about Mr. Whirzel, Rianna must endure confusions, confrontations, the Callaways, Principal Nabal, The Long Stack, Dead
Man's Sleep, the Porthstone, but none of this compares to the life and death adventure Mr. Whirzel devises on Halloween night. The question is: When the twelfth bell rings, will Rianna Keats
survive?
