Frederick is amazed at his good luck at gaining as post as a footboy in the house of a wizard -- all because he best fit the footman's uniform. He doesn't realize that it is the work of a brownie who used magic to make the uniform fit him perfectly until the wizard banishes the brownie from his house. Luckily the brownie doesn't stay banished as there is a curse on the wizard and his family that only the brownie and Frederick can break.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a pretty good fantasy story for kids. Reading the author's bio on the back flag I discovered that this is actually a standalone novel in the fantasy world series of books that Caroline Stevermer writes with Patricia Wrede. I look forward to hunting out the other books to read.
