Grade 2. In this four-chapter beginning reader, what begins as a simple plan to make a pet for a wizard becomes a war over which type of magic is more powerful?girl magic or boy magic. As the competition escalates into creating dragons, strange creatures, and walking trees, Perrywinkle and Andromeda become more adamant that their own magic is better. In their classroom, the students' hair grows until it fills the room and Perrywinkle grows a tail before the two friends can finally settle their differences. Zimmer's droll cartoons greatly enhance this funny story of two children learning the value of working together.?Jan Shepherd Ross, Dixie Elementary Magnet School, Lexington, KY

Product Description
The more Perrywinkle and Andromeda say ""ABRA-CA-DABRA"" while trying their new magic tricks, the more trouble they get into, and to make matters worse, they cannot seem to work as a team and agree on which is better--boy magic or girl magic."
