Product Information

He helps his dad on the market and often uses his magic to wow passers-by to help sell some of the toys from the stall. Tom Easton is the author of over forty books, including books on vampires, pirates, teen girl boxers and teen boy knitters. Then a run-in with Bottley at his parents’ market stall gets Max into even bigger trouble – now the notorious East End gangsters the Crayfish Twins are after him! There are a few illustrations within the book, similar to those you’d find in any book for readers of this age (I’d say anywhere from 7-12 years, depending on reading level). OK so clearly im not the target audience for this book as i am an adult, but i actually really enjoyed it, and got caught up in the story, the book tells the story of max the wannabe magician who practice hard at his magic but still have a way to go until one day his life chances forever, the book also covers morals you would expect in a kids book like standing up to bullies without becoming one, in many ways its the kind of book you would expect from Stephen Mulhern its full magic and cheesy jokes, i actually would be happy to read future books, im excited to see what he does with his magic, i love the random use of cockney rhyming slang, max's gran uses.

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. The schoolboy, bully knows Max helps out on his dad’s market stall, so he heads for the stall and causes mayhem at the market were he ruins the clothes the Crayfish twins are wearing.Then a run-in with Bottley at his parents' market stall gets Max into even bigger trouble - now the notorious East End gangsters, the Crayfish Twins, are after him! PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. He has performed for some of the most recognised people in the world, including Her Majesty the Queen! Biography: Stephen Mulhern (Author) Stephen Mulhern is one of the most in-demand television presenters today, with a string of smash-hit television show s including Catchphrase, In For a Penny and Rolling In It. I feel that the lead character of Max Mullers within the story is very easy for children to identify with.

I also read it as though it was a mini Stephen Mulhern narrating, even the illustrations looked like a young Stephen!Max loves magic, it runs in the family, and from the very first time that his dad showed him how to do a trick, he has been learning, practising and performing.

Messages from the story like standing up for what is right were covered well and are relevant to the children in this time.A chase through the market ensues and he falls foul of the Crayfish twins and their suit gets ruined. Max Muller an ordinary boy living an ordinary life, in an ordinary world, who loves magic, with a dream to be a magician, Max The Magnificent! What I feel slightly less sure about is how many will appreciate the use of Cockney rhyming slang, especially if this is the first time they’ve come across it, so this reinforces my belief that the story will probably be best appreciated if an adult is on hand to explain it more clearly.

Engaging black-and-white illustrations throughout and a dyslexic-friendly layout make this perfect for every child.I was so wrapped up into this story about Max, I wanted to know if everything changes and if Max would be successful to stop the boy at school bullying him, and if he can stop the controlling adult bullies the Crayfish twins. 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!
