Kendar, the worst student magician on the world of Orbix, begins a calamitous chain of events when he chases an Earth cat named Scandal into a cloud. Kendar emerges with the biggest supply of majyk on the planet, and suddenly he's being chased by a wizard, a barbarian, and a demon.
Wonderful book! Funny, witty, interesting and I couldn't keep my hands off it.
This is one of the funniest books I ever read!

I read this book during my freshman year of high school and I immediately fell in love with it. How could you not fall in love with a book which can boast such characters as the hopelessly gullible and naive (not to mention failing) magic student Kendar Gangle, a.k.a. "Ratwhacker" and a cat with an attitude from Earth named Scandal who constantly talks about movies and other things that only someone from Earth would understand and thoroughly confusing all the other characters. In fact, the only other book I have read which comes even close to being equal to Majyk by Accident is the sequel!
Extremely funny fantasy

You like humor? You like fantasy? You'll like this book. Much of the humor in this story lies in the first person perspective. Kendar has a way of accenting his good moments and downplaying his bad ones that just reflects on Friesner's great sense of humor. Besides being funny, this book does not let you put it down. Friesner's style and ability to bring humor into a situation will leave you wondering how long it will take you to get a few more of her books.
