Review: Magic with a twist!
Rating: 4 out of 5

What it's about: Witches and magic with an amazing twist!What I thought: Robert Shields has written a wonderful book. He has taken something as popular as witches and magic and given it his own creative twist - with fantastic results! Daphne discovers that magic is real, but it is nothing like she ever thought. Witches cast spells by manipulating matter using physics - don't worry, it's all explained as you go along ;) While this book is unique in itself, you don't get bogged down with the focus on the girl getting the boy, which is why I think it would appeal more to the younger readers - However I still think it would suit all other ages too. If you are looking for your next magic-kick (especially if you are still mourning the loss of Harry Potter) then pick this one up and you just may be pleasantly surprised!The good: I found this book to be quite hilarious! Not sure if I was the only one, but there are so many moments that made me burst into school-girl giggles.The bad: It does take slightly longer than normal to get into, but if you bear that in mind when reading, and focus on the good stuff you know is coming, you'll be fine!Rating: 4 bookstacks
