The Incredible Twisting Arm - A Magical Adventure for Young Readers
Want to see something incredible? Mike can twist his arm all the way around with just a little magic. In this engaging chapter book, young readers join Mike on his latest adventure at The White Rabbit magic shop.
Story Overview
Life has improved for Mike since discovering The White Rabbit magic shop, but challenges remain. After missing a special performance from a visiting magician, Mike realizes he needs independence—specifically, the ability to bike downtown to the shop by himself. The problem? After just one week of being a model student, he's exhausted. Meanwhile, his magician assistant and behavior expert, Nora, is preoccupied with a new friendship.
Mike faces a dilemma: convincing his parents he's responsible enough to ride his bike downtown alone. Will it take a miracle, or perhaps a bit of magic?
