## What happens in a magic and wizards book

A magic book gives your child their own wand, a spellbook and a spell that goes not quite to plan. They might start at a school for young wizards and witches, find a magic cat in the attic or brew a potion that turns the kitchen upside down. The magic is all original, with no borrowed characters from other books or films, so the story belongs to your child alone. It suits imaginative four-to-nine-year-olds.

## How a book like this might begin

> The wand was in a dusty box at the very back of Grandma’s attic, wrapped in a scarf covered in stars. Oliver gave it a tiny wave. A teacup rose off the shelf, spun twice in the air, and poured itself a perfect cup of hot chocolate. Oliver looked at the wand. The wand seemed to look back at him. “Well,” he whispered, “what else can you do?”
>
> By lunchtime the wand had turned the cat purple, made the stairs go the wrong way and filled the bathtub with bubbles that would not pop. Grandma came up the attic steps, looked around and laughed. “I wondered when you would find that,” she said. “Shall I teach you the rules?”

An example. Every book is written fresh for your child, so yours will be its own story.
