The Trouble With Magic

This was my favorite book in second grade and was delighted to find a copy. I have vivid memories of ordering it from the Scholastic book catalog poster. The story combines many classis themes (abandoned children, magic, trying something new.) It is interesting that it is able to feel like a period piece and fresh at the same time. The only drawback I find now is that is feels too short, but that did not seem to be a problem what I read it originally. Too bad Ms. Chew is not here to write a sequel!

Great stories our son loved as a child, thought the grandkids would too. Can't have too many books at Grandma's house.

This was one of my favorite books when I was in Elementary school. I bought it to read to my children.

Ruth Chew books were some of my favorites growing up.

Loved It!
