A mysterious package with a plane ticket and thumb drive leads Ozzy, Sigi, and Clark, a mechanical bird, to New York. There, they confront a man linked to a mind-control serum created by Ozzy's parents. As Ozzy becomes the key to unlocking the serum's secrets, he must also complete five tasks as Rin's apprentice. Can he balance these challenges while protecting those he loves from a looming threat?

From the publisher

Ozzy Toffy’s adventure, which began in Wizard for Hire, continues when one dark and windy night, he gets out of bed, jumps out his window, and walks straight into the ocean. More than ever, Ozzy could really use the services of Rin, the wizard he hired to help find his parents–but Rin is missing, despite Ozzy’s continual attempts to contact him. And Clark, the mechanical bird his father left him, is as peculiar and vain as ever. When a mysterious package arrives, Ozzy and his good friend Sigi are sure that the plane ticket and thumb drive they find inside are from Rin. Trying to get Clark through security at the airport proves complicated–as most things are with Clark. But when they arrive in New York, they discover there’s even more adventure in store for them. Will Rin return and save the day? Will Ozzy figure out why he keeps walking into the ocean? Can Sigi find a way to trust her delinquent father? Will someone please appreciate Clark the way he’d like to be appreciated? For once? Wizard for Hire: Apprentice Needed is a story filled with humor and excitement that shows us the magic in everyday things.
