So, to conclude, if you are looking for a children’s book filled with magic, and relatable characters, do give this book a go and I hope you will like it. It came across as though this is going to be the start of a series of novels so will be interesting to see when any future books come out – certainly a good first start. A real strength of the story is that a child is encouraged to believe that problems can be overcome, particularly when you have the support of a loving family and good friends . Max Magic follows a boy named Max who loves magic and impressing all his family and friends with his tricks but he has some bullies who aren't so impressed both at school and at his dads market stall so he decides he needs to work out how to get them off his back.

I think most children of primary school age are fascinated by magicians and magic tricks and so I imagine are likely to find Max’s story very engaging and entertaining, especially as the rather simple, straightforward storytelling is ideal for appealing to youngsters of seven to ten years old. I thought it was also a nice touch that instructions on how to perform certain magic tricks are included at the end of the book.

Aimed at probably the over 8s market - I'm obviously too old for the tales of Max Magic - but I enjoyed it none the less.

When masked magician Mr Mysterio enters the competition, Max suspects that something strange is going on. The Crayfish Twins are safely tucked behind bars too but Max still has a lot to learn about his magical abilities. Engaging black-and-white illustrations throughout and a dyslexic-friendly layout make this perfect for every child.His only obstacle is the local bully Bottley, who he has a run-in with at his parent's market stall. Max desperately needs magical help to get this sorted and it just so happens a charmed hat comes to the rescue along with his talking dog Lucky. Now the local gangsters the Crayfish Twins are after him and he'll need a miracle to drag himself out of this one!

Although I am not the target audience for Max Magic I really enjoyed this entertaining book about friends working together and using their skills to defeat bullies.Other cancelled products: If you want to cancel products that are not damaged or incorrectly supplied, then you must inform us of this within seven working days following the date of receipt in accordance with the Distance Selling Regulations or otherwise as soon as possible. It is a good tale of friendship, family loyalty and overcoming bullies with a decent moral message about controlling how you use your abilities and not turning into a bully yourself. I felt that at the beginning of the book it was obvious that an adult was writing it and then part way through it seemed more as though it was Max’s voice. Unfortunately he does not apply the same determination to his school work much to the frustration of his friend Sophie.
