Back-cover blurb:

She looked and found that one of the books, a little library-bound volume in shiny red buckram, had a loose thread at the top of its spine, on which her finger had caught. She pulled the finger free, glanced at the title. It was one of those "So You Want to Be a..." books, a series on careers. So You Want to Be a Pilot there had been, and So You Want to Be a Scientist... a Nurse... a Writer...

But this one said, So You Want to Be a Wizard.

I don't believe this, Nita thought. She shut the book and stood there holding it in her hand, confused, amazed, suspicious...and delighted. If it was a joke, it was a great one. If it wasn't...?"
