Maximum Magic: The Save Our School Summer

Ten-year-old Will has big plans for a fun-filled summer break. But those plans unravel when he finds out his school is closed – not just for the summer, but forever. The mayor claims the building, a beloved centerpiece of the town, is too old and expensive to maintain. But closing it means Will and his friends will have a super-long bus ride to the new school in the next town. And even worse, it means Will’s mom has lost her job in the school office.

Can the school be saved? Will leads his friends to the local magician, Max Goodman. Together, can they find the real reason for the closure? And can Max and the kids save the school with the demolition date looming and Max at risk of losing his powers?

THE SAVE OUR SCHOOL SUMMER is the first book in the Maximum Magic series of chapter books for ages 9-12. Look for Book 2, MAYHEM AT THE NEW MUSEUM, and Book 3, THE INFATUATION INFECTION to continue Will’s adventures into Max’s world of magic.

The Maximum Magic books are contemporary adventures written in under 20,000 words, with fast-moving chapters and best of all, magic!

NOTE TO PARENTS:

My goal as an author is to get your kids to LOVE reading as much as I did when I was their age...and as much as I still do! My husband is a professional magician. Based on the fascination I see children have with him and his tricks, I wrote the Maximum Magic series.

My promise to you: my Maximum Magic books are clean, with no offensive language, no sketchy innuendos, and with strong family units. I realize that our children are bombarded daily with messages we’d rather they didn’t learn (at least not at their young age). It happens, but I don’t believe it needs to happen in my books. My job is to have your children enjoy reading.

The Lexile levels for this series fall between 550 and 650.
