Practical everyday magic spells for the young fans of Harry Potter, Descendants, Sofia the First, and other books and films of the magic fantasy genre. These spells use only safe everyday objects and substances you have at home or outside (like milk, sugar, salt, mirror, a ring, a ribbon, tree leaves, rocks, etc.); absolutely no use of fire, or anything gross, or any ingredients or items you may not have in your kitchen at the moment (like rosewater, or sage, or a crystal ball). These spells are not based on any witchcraft, New Age, or esoteric religion, lore or rituals. This is fantasy-fiction-style educational activity material for kids ages 7-12 that helps them develop imagination and engage in fantasy play which is vital for their intellectual and emotional development. The book also introduces to them a few facts of math, sciences, and history, helps develop their interest in reading, and grow their reading fluency with an easy, 1st-2nd grade core vocabulary. If a kid in your life runs around waving a magic wand, talks about "dark chronicles," "immortal secrets, " dragons and hidden chambers filled with ancient manuscripts... If your kid recites Harry Potter spells in pseudo-Latin, and mixes magic potions in your kitchen sink...Your kid is ready for magic training. Buy this spell book for that child without delay! Your young magician will stop wasting your dish detergent, and start using actual classical Latin to punctuate his/her powerful spells. By the way, is this kid resistant to reading? Well, resistance is futile when you are dealing with a real ancient hands-on practical spell book, where you read a couple sentences, then do what you’ve just read about, then read again, and do again, read-do, read-do.... In addition to its easy vocabulary, the book is beautifully illustrated to increase your kid’s reading enthusiasm. Just like the ancients who made most of the great discoveries in math, the sciences, and arts in pursuit of magic, your child will play with the ideas of intelligence in nature, and the great unknown beyond, and develop curiosity about the world. Upon working with this 30-page book, your student of magic arts will know a fact or two about sciences and history, will be able to recite the Pythagorean Theorem and the Fibonacci Sequence (no kidding), and will answer many questions you’ve always had, like: How to find the North star? Why does your breath fog up the mirror? Who introduced Arabic numerals to replace Roman Numerals in Medieval Europe? What kind of writing system did Ancient Egyptians have? What are fractals? Who spoke Latin (besides Harry Potter at Hogwarts)? What is divination? How numerologists predict the future? Who was Pythagoras? When were the Middle Ages? What is an Ankh? What are the phases of the Moon? What are the directions of the wind in your area? Why do oil and water never mix? ...And more! Currently residing in New York City, I've spent my life doing magic and taming dragons at home and at work. With an M.A, in Linguistics and years spent perusing Gothic manuscripts in underground library cells at universities on both sides of the Atlantic, I have a decent command of classical Latin and Greek, with a few European languages thrown in. But the most important thing about me is that I am the mother of a magic-obssessed 6-year old. My son hates reading, but he will read if the book contains the secret magical lore not available on Disney Channel, or in his Catholic school curriculum. I started writing this book for him during summer vacation, to help him get fluent in reading, so that one day he may understand that the only magic in the world that opens all doors is...knowledge. Review: Great book - My daughter loves the fun spells in here and it's handy to know it's just make believe. Also, it's great independent reading practise. Review: Magical! - Absolutely perfect. I wanted a book for my granddaughter which was enforced the idea of 'harm none', was fun and which was subtly educational. So good I bought a second one.

Poor description not a book!
Thought it was a book as it’s called a book, but it’s no more than a brochure! Not with price paid. I will check more carefully before ordering something which call it’s self a book in future. I was going to put it with my granddaughter’s birthday gifts but it’s not worth it.

Ensure to note this book is only 30 pages.
It’s more like a pamphlet so expensive for its size, beautifully illustrated though.

Not what I expected
13 pages, I've had meeting notes longer than this book , it's all written on a dark background, and if your vision is impaired it's hard to see, it's supposidly for children, I suppose if your into Harry Potter it's brilliant. Not what I expected for my daughter. I'll stick to training her myself.

Great starter for kids
Got this for my daughter who has recently taken an interest in some of my Wicca and Witchcraft books. I think it's a great introduction for a child, not too in depth to keep it at a level they can comprehend but still getting the point across in keeping with Wicca and Witchcraft. Definitely recommend for children who may be interested in this sort of thing, or even just increasing their knowledge of other peoples ideas in the world.

Expensive for a booklet
It’s a lovely little booklet, great as an intro and has gorgeous artwork, but for the price point I was expecting a more substantial actual book. We’ve purchased many books around this price point aimed at tweens and this book is essentially a colour booklet. I was interested in buying the other books in the set but after seeing it in hardcopy I won’t be purchasing them others. I’d say around $10 is a better price point for this booklet.

READ BEFORE YOU BUY!!!
I got this book for my son. It is full of information and stuff he LOVED! HOWEVER... It was VERY THIN. Price is not worth the value. It is cute as a literal beginner, first ever book but you still need to read it with your child and assist them. Would I recommend this book? Absolutely. Do I think it was a quickly made product? Absolutely. So the choice is really up to you. But be warned, you can find all the information with one google search for free.
