Searching For A Fantasy Novel From My Youth, Can’t Remember Name Or Author, Was Hoping The Internet Could Help?

I remember the title had the word “magic” in it, but I could be mistaken. Youth fiction, in which a magician visits a court and one of the youth runs off with him to become a magician at magic school. He gets in trouble, casts lightning, summons a demon, and saves the world or something similar. In the end he’s sent on a redemption quest to Serpent Tower (or some variation there-of) in which he’s vowed to not use magic for the duration. I can’t for the life of me remember anything else about the book, except that I really wanted to read the sequel (it’s been a good 9 years since – I remembered it only from some memorabilia I was sorting through)

Looking For A Name Of A Fantasy Novel?

I read this series a long time ago and I am unable to remember the name. I remember that they books had a Guardian who wore this green cloak that would blend into the background and he was protecting this noble woman whom could weave magic. I remember that there were different schools and each had different colors and when they finished there schooling they would get a guardian that would travel with them and aid them. Thats about all I could remember other then the fact that there was like 9 books to this series.
If any one knows the name of a book or even the series I would be greatly thankful. Its hard to buy books that you dont know the name of. Thanks

I Need Suggestions On A Good English/british Novel (i Have To Have A Book Picked Out By Tomorrow)?

I am in Honors English at my school, and we are required to read a British novel following an analysis essay that is must be turned in at the end of the marking period. My problem is that I can not find a good British novel to read due to the fact that I have already read it; We are going to read or have read it as a class (we have to pick a book that is separate from the ones we are going to or have read in class).
Here are the books I have already read:
-1984(I loved this books so much, I like any books involving dystopia)
-A Clockwork Orange (Amazing book)
-Great expectations
-Oliver Twist
-Brave New World
-Frankenstein(Just finished and absolutely loved it)
-Dracula
-Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde
-The Hobbit
-Lord of the Rings trilogy
-Gulliver’s Travels
-Lord of the Flies
-David Copperfield
Yeah….. So you can kind of see my problem. I have read a lot of books. By the way my favorite books are Dystopia’s or any books that, for lack of better words mind f**k you. Also, I like science fiction.

Famous First Words What Novel Begins-and I Want The Author Too.?

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.
