I almost forgot one last vital thing before we get into the meat and potatoes of our magical story. I think I must have mesmerized myself with all those i’s earlier. I’m sorry-I don’t think you actually said that out loud. Would you like to learn about magic? I thought you might. (Use your nose! Or your tongue! Or your eyes! Or your brain!) Of course, sometimes you can make it happen yourself. You might be too busy twirling cotton candy or too distracted by birds sitting on the windowsill or too tired from organizing the attic to notice-but I assure you, magic does exist. I don’t want to get ahead of myself.īut sometimes you might have a hard time remembering to seek out the magic in the world, just like the boy in this book. Magic may even come in the shape of a book-perhaps the very one you’re holding now. You see, magic comes in all shapes and sizes and colors and tastes and smells and feelings. For me, magic can be a story, a game, a puzzle, or a surprise that takes my breath away in a single, furious gulp. For others, magic is a crisp autumn’s day or a tender hug from a loved one. For some, it is pulling a rabbit from a top hat or sawing a person in half and then (hopefully) putting them back together again.

Magic can mean different things to different people. Iiimiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiiiigiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiciiii Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Don’t believe me? Look into my eyes and tell me you don’t see magic! But I assure you, there is magic all around you. If you’re anything like the boy in this book, you might say no. SALUTATIONS! * (* This is just a clever word for “Greetings!”)ĭo you believe in magic?
