Customer Reviews

A fun read!

This is a fun realistic fiction/fantasy story. The characters speak like real people. The adventures that Bailey finds himself in are exciting and imaginative. My students, 4th graders, looked forward to our read aloud time every day.

Great idea for the magic to work! A page-turner!

Bailey Bond is a grumpy twelve-year old who is being forced to stay with his cousins, who hate him. He spys on them, and says mean things about Carl and Anna, and gets Ingrid into hysterics, but when the magic begins to work, Bailey Bond is the master. None of the other children can work it. But while the magic is lots of fun, it has ups and downs, and it turns into one hilarious adventure after another as the four children look for Fox, Bailey's lost dog.
