This is a light hearted read about a young boy who decides to outwit his bullies.

Max Mullers loves to do magic. Some people call him Max Magic but he wants to be a famous magician, Max the magnificent.

Max lives with his chatty family in East London where he learns a trick each day and shares it with others. At school, everyone is entertained except the school bully, George Bottley.

The author has written this in a first person narrative but it reads like a dairy account and it is a child's perspective.

There are black and white pictures as well as doodles of playing cards and a a top hat on each page. However, the front cover is bright, colourful and bold featuring the main character.

I absolutely loved reading this book. I also think a younger reader will benefit from reading it because it is written in a childlike manner from the viewpoint of a child dealing with bullying and following their dream.

I really like the author's note at the front of the book telling his young readers to believe in themselves and that their dreams can come true
