Cassy, Vern & Gus are three gifted students who go to an enchanted school where they learn about magic and how to use it. One day they receive a strange book in the mail which is also enchanted and can talk. The book says his name is UBOS (Ultimate Book of Spells) and together they must journey to the center of the Earth to stop Zarlak a powerful wizard who is stealing all Earth's magic so he can ultimately escape his prison where he has been banished for many years. This begins a journey of a lifetime for the three students - one they will never forget. Written by The Unforgiving Salesmen
Ultimate Book of Spells is not my favourite show ever, but I liked it as a child and like to revisit it when I can. It is a very good show, with a great concept. Why do I like it? The animation is very crisp and colourful, while the music is funky and fun. The writing is funny and even clever, while the story lines are interesting. And I like the characters, Cassie, Gus and especially Zarlack(in my eyes a very convincing villain both in looks and voice, not to mention motives) are my favourites. The pacing is brisk and efficient, and I rarely find myself bored. There may be the odd occasion where I may be annoyed by a character, but this is occasionally.
Overall, a very good show. 9/10 Bethany Cox
