 #1 in the young wizards series:

#1: ''so you want to be a wizard'' (1983), (this novel)
#2: ''deep wizardry'' (1985), q.v.
#3: ''high wizardry'' (1990), q.v.
#4: ''a wizard abroad'' (1993), q.v.

the first two in a connected adult (including young adult) trilogy then were published:

aka ''to visit the queen'' (usa 1999 & ff.), q.v.
#c: ''the big meow'' (e-book 2011), q.v.

the children's series resumed publication from 2001:
(i've not read these and cannot confirm reading order):

#5: ''the wizard's dilemma'' (2001), q.v.
#6: ''a wizard alone'' (2002), q.v.
#7: ''wizard's holiday'' (2003), q.v.
#8: ''wizards at war'' (2005), q.v.
#9: ''a wizard of mars'' (2010), q.v.
#10:''games wizards play'' (2015), q.v.

and there appears to be a further associated book, from another publisher::
#C: ''(young wizards:) lifeboats'' (2015), q.v.
