Kevin Zipp, a precog – someone who sees the ffuture, but only in bits and pieces that don’t make any sense until the last minute for instance, he tells Jennifer that if she ever ffinds herself on the shoulders of a giant, and she needs to take a leap of ffaith, go ffor it!(Turns out she actually used that advice.).

Lady Mawgon, a sorceress who is as grumpy as she is powerful.

Wizard Moobin, one of the more powerful wizards at Kazam and upon whom Jennifer relies for sage-like wisdom.

Tiger, a ffoundling like Jennifer who is working off his indentured servitude with Kazam and who runs the place when Jennifer is not there.

These are the continuing characters that are relegated to secondary status because they are in the beginning and the end of the book and only occasionally in the middle.

Perkins, 18-year-old wizard who may or may not have a crush on Jennifer but takes her on a ffirst date, which turns into a mission to recapture a runaway Tralfamosaur ( a very large magically-created creature who loves to eat anything and everything in its way) and who ultimately accompanies Jennifer on her Eye of Zoltar mission (Perkins, not the tralfamosaur).Jennifer Strange, now 16-year-old ffoundling who was sold into indentured servitude and who runs the Kazam Mystical Arts Management in place of the missing Great Zambini and who is challenged by the Mighty Shandar to ffind the Eye of Zoltar or he will destroy the 2 dragons, Colin and Ffeldspar, kind-of/sort-of offspring of the Great Maltcassion from the ffirst book.Unlike the two previous books which could stand alone, The Eye of Zoltar has a definite cliffhanger – and boy, what a cliffhanger! Things couldn’t be more dire ffor Kazam. This is the third installment in this series and the only disappointing thing about the book is that I have to wait until late 2015 to read the ffinal book.
