When Ian discovers a strange old camera, he thinks it's just another dusty object-until it starts doing something unbelievable. Every time Ian says "Say cheese!" and clicks the shutter, magic spills into the world around him.

Suddenly, ordinary moments turn extraordinary. Mistakes become lessons. And a shy boy finds himself on an unforgettable adventure filled with laughter, surprises, and heart.

As Ian learns to use the magic camera, he also learns something even more important: magic is powerful-but kindness, honesty, and courage matter even more.

Perfect for readers ages 8-12, Say Cheese: The Magic Camera is a fun and thoughtful story about creativity, friendship, and discovering the magic hidden in everyday life.

About the Author

E.S.A Pathan is a young fantasy author who has been telling stories since before she could properly read-first through pictures, then through words, and eventually through entire worlds. She began working on her debut novel on December 26, 2024. The story was originally titled Elyndor's Chosen, but after 17 days of writing and reimagining, it evolved into The Price of Forever, an emotionally driven fantasy that grew alongside her as a writer.

Her work blends magic, mystery, loyalty, and sacrifice, with a strong focus on characters and the bonds that shape them. Set across both magical and non-magical worlds, her stories explore belonging, identity, and the quiet strength found in love and friendship.

When she isn't writing, she runs a YouTube channel where she shares creative and bookish content, connects with readers, and expresses her love for storytelling in different forms. She also enjoys crocheting-often creating while imagining new scenes and characters. Through her work, she hopes to give readers a place to escape, feel deeply, and believe that magic still exists.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
