I think this book would be aimed at slightly younger children than me (10 years old or so), but I enjoyed it anyway. The storyline is great, about a real magicians set - I wish I had one! Michael describes the children's wishes very clearly - if fact so well that I felt like I was in the book. He clearly portrays the children's feelings so that the reader can understand and relate to the children. I must say that, even at my age, I thought the ending was very sad and upsetting, and it is clear that the child in the book thinks that too. 8.9/10
A very perceptive review. Must get this book, sad ending or not.
