This children’s book tells the tale of Max Mullers, an East End boy with a quirky family and supportive group of friends who can’t wait to be the best magician in the world!

Well presented with plenty of illustrations and an easy to read layout, this book has some nice extra touches such as coloured page edges and flip book illustrations in the corners of the pages - all of which help make it appealing and a book that children will be drawn to.

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.

This is not a challenging read. Some aspects of the story feel a bit outdated (including the playground bully and the “Crayfish Twins”) and hard to relate to modern childhood but that often doesn’t bother a younger reader.
