Second-Hand Magic

Ijust got done reading a fabulous book called Second-Hand Magic. There are 2 main charactors named Paul and Caroline. Paul and Caroline find a kite up in a tree. The author is Ruth Chew. Ruth thought of a charactor named Clement Ellswerth. Clem likes to be called Clem. Clem always follows Paul and Caroline around. Iwould give this book 5 stars because of good detail and good writing.

Magic Kite

I liked Second Hand Magic by Ruth Chew. It's very creative and has some good characters. The book is very magical. Paul and Caroline find a kite in their tree. It is shaped like a bird. It's takes them on magical adventures.

Second-Hand Magic

Wow! What a great book! It was very creative. I liked the characters Paul, Caroline,and Clement Ellsworth. The author and illustrator, Ruth Chew, did a very nice job with the pictures and telling the story. Her imagination was very nice. The kite was the best part, because it wasn't like any other kite.If you read this book you will enjoy it.

Second-hand magic

This book by Ruth Chew is a wonderful book about magic and mystery. The many adventures of Paul and Caroline will keep you on the edge of your seat and the book in your hands. A magic kite takes Paul and Caroline to where ever their hearts desire. One of their adventures is to a beach with a boardwalk nearby. If you like Harry Potter you'll love this book.

A pretty good book.

We read this book in school, and I thought it was very good. It's written in the same style as the Harry Potter books, full of magic and suprises. The kids, Paul and Caroline, are sibblings that are growing up in Brooklyn. In the park, they find a kite that is very special. But a mysterous stranger wants to take it away from them. The children need it back!
