Jinx is the first novel (2013) in a middle-grades children's fantasy trilogy by Sage Blackwood, published by HarperCollins. Set in a sentient primeval forest called The Urwald, the novel follows the adventures of a boy named Jinx who is abandoned in the forest and rescued by the wizard Simon Magus. Jinx grows up in Simon's house. After the wizard does a spell on Jinx that causes him to lose his ability to see others' emotions, Jinx runs away to seek help from the evil Bonemaster.[1]
The Guardian[9] reviewer ChristopherW wrote of Jinx's Magic, "I hate starting a series part way through, but the author did a good job of filling me in with the story so far. I'm going to read the first book in the series very soon. I'd recommend this to fans of anything magical!"
Of Jinx's Fire, Kirkus Reviews said, "A solid conclusion to a trilogy ... threaded with proper amounts of heroism, humor and ingenious twists of character."[10]
Jinx was among the purchases made by President Obama for his daughters, at a D.C. area independent bookstore on the 2013 Thanksgiving weekend Small Business Saturday.[11]
