Late Night at the Magic Shop
Eli is helping someone he thinks is going to be the only customer of the day at his magic shop when a middle schooler walks in looking for help for his school’s upcoming talent show. He wants a way to make his tuba disappear so he doesn’t have to play it. Will Eli be able to help him?

Okay, that’s a bit of a simplistic plot teaser for this short story, but the set up really is that simple. And, since it is very short (I read it in about 10 minutes), it works. There is much to enjoy here, and I smiled the entire way through. Simple and charming best describe this short story.

A good read for young adults and "grown up" adults. Easy to follow, strong female character, magic and mayhem. Wonderful visuals painted with words. (0 more)
The climax of the story takes a while to get to. This story has a slow build up, with spats of action peppered throughout. It is important to be patient with this novel. (0 more)

My favorite book
This is a great book. I ha e recommended and/or given many copies as gifts. A story about magic, being young, and being mortal. It’s a little confusing at first because it’s not written on a straight time line, but goes back and forth during the story.

Now drink!
This is a fun game to play with a mixed group of people. We all get to drink each other under the table, and everyone he’s a little magic up their sleeve. I played as the Bard and I really got to show my creativity to some of my professors while playing this game.

Now You See Me (2013)
2013 | Mystery
If you like magic then watch this film, although a lot of a the stunts were probably staged slowly and then edited together, the tricks were still impressive. The twist at the end - you do not see coming although if you watch it again (which I have done) it does rather spoil it but still a good film.

Another mischevious encounter in between a young boy and the underground world of magic. Finally Artemis gets the help that he needs to find his father and helps in return to take down some naughty trolls with Captain Short. I love the characters of these books and that they make a return in this second book of the series

This set pulled me back in, it was great to see some of the characters I loved from the old books. I was also excited that they gave us info from some stuff that happened after the book run ended. Not to mention the new Karn and Teferi.

This book is a wonderfully written romp into a different world.
Dezaray ends up in a different world and takes over the life of someone who looked exactly like Dezaray. Unfortunately she doesn't know magic. The whole story is just one fun chapter after another.
I would highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys fantasy and different worlds.
