Do It Yourself Magic

When Rachel and her brother Scott purchase a construction kit that includes a magical hammer that can change the size of any object, the siblings embark on an extraordinary adventure

Grade 3-5 Another readable, absorbing fantasy that is sure to be a hit with Chew's fans. Using short chapters and working with a vocabulary appropriate to the audience, the author creates a mythical medieval world of knights and castles that 20th-Century Scott and Ra chel enter through a magic hammer that comes with their building kit. The story also incorporates the favorite childhood fantasy of being able to change the sizes of people and objects, as the brother and sister manipulate their environment and the people in it. Neatly crafted, enter taining, and historically accurate, Do-It- Yourself Magic should become an in stant favorite with young fantasy readers.
