This is a wonderful book about a school age girl who falls in love with magic after having a female magician perform at her birthday party. The library comes to the rescue and, I must tell you, that is the best list of magic books from a library I have ever seen! The author is magic knowledgeable and has professional magicians in her family, and her knowledge shows. The book is wonderfully written and illustrated and the story is good. David Copperfield writes the introduction. The book is suitable for all young readers, female and male alike. Me? I'm a 70 year old magic hobbyist, I loved the book. Really a fine read.
