The Ultimate Spell-Caster: Over 60 Million Marvelously Silly Spells

In a fantastically fun interactive outing, readers are given the means to create incantations through five interchangeable strips containing silly and spooky phrases, with occasional modern references thrown in. Among the more than 60 million possible phrase combinations are “Foot of stairs and hood of neighbor, magic your sister into a garlic-munching spaniel hassler” and “Bat of eyelid and sand of witch, shape-shift your teacher into a hipster-bearded eel feeler.” The minimal visual embellishments include lime green endpapers and weathered, potion-splattered strips speckled with bugs, bats, frogs, feathers, and other spell-casting ingredients. Whether conjuring phrases as solitary practitioners or with fellow coven members, young witches and wizards will be enchanted by the laugh-out-loud wordplay. Ages 6–12.[em] (Sept.) [/em]
