Good potential but too much about phones and food. It got boring after a while and forced myself to finish. .The first 6 chapters seemed to be repetitive and just a lot of dialect. Which I grew old of quickly. Plus, I could not understand Alyssa need to try to make her uncle understand what was happening was magic. He obviously did not like Alyssa or believed her. So I could not figure out why Alyssa was trying so hard to make her uncle see her point. Chapter seven is when the story started to pick up. This is when Duchamp kidnapped Alyssa and took her to the Fiji Islands. In addition, it was not just the first six chapters that repeated itself but the whole book. The storyline was simple enough that it did not require repeating.

A good book for teens, about magic and how some children fight against a bad wizard. They encounter a magic world and the help of some magic friend.

I thoroughly enjoyed the plot, atmosphere, and characters. I would recommend the book to friends and family for their reading pleasure.
