Devo Mannix the Sorcerer’S Apprentice

Book excerpt: Devo Mannix is an understudy to his grandfather, a world-renowned sorcerer and magician. In the course of his training, Devo has inherited a magical steamer trunk and a magical 1925 Rolls Royce Phaeton 1. Devo encounters two spirits in his quest to train as an archaeologist. One of the spirits resided in the ruins of the Cromwell house, which had burned down twenty years ago, some ten years before Devo was born. Three people who are thought to be guilty of setting the house on fire become trapped in one of the bedrooms and are unable to leave. Unraveling the mystery and releasing those held prisoners are exciting adventures that only Devo can unravel. The second spirit that Devo encounters is accidentally acquired when he does some archaeological excavating in Yucatn while on a mission to recover his friend Julies necklace. This spirit is held captive in a clay figurine and has been a prisoner for some 1,500 years. Devo is anxious to release the Mayan spirit from his clay imprisonment; however, the spirit promises to seek revenge on the descendants of the family that caused his imprisonment. Devos attempt to reach an agreement with the spirit to avoid the suffering that might be caused by his release is hampered by the spirits unwillingness to agree with Devos demands. Join Devo and his friends encounter the spirits and overcome the obstacles that are laid before them.
