The Magic Touch

By Jody Lynn Nye

Book Overview

Every child deserves one miracle, is the motto of the Fairy Godmothers Union. Raymond Crandall is skeptical whether he wants to be a part of something that sounds so hokey, but his Grandma Eustatia insisted he join. To his shock, Ray discovers that the fairy godmothers use real magic to grant those wishes, but the proper use of magic and the responsibility that goes with it are not easily learned. While he studies with Mrs. Rose Feinstein, a rival force, the Demons, Djinni and Efreets Guild, is also recruiting apprentices -- from the local street gangs. Ray discovers that granting wishes to children touches something in himself that he never knew was there. The DDEG want that power for themselves and are prepared to go to terrifying lengths to get it. The Fairy Godparents are in danger. Can Ray pull off a miracle for all of them, without jeopardizing the people that he loves?

Customer Reviews

This book is an absolute delight.

A thoroughly enjoyable tale, this book is what I wish Elizabeth Ann Scarborough's Godmother series was: ingenious and satisfying grantings of wishes without so much dwelling on the grimness of some parts of life (child molestation, the problems of the homeless, inhumane governmental policies, etc.) The characters are real individuals, and I liked them immensely. I stayed up late to gulp this book down in one evening and was so charmed that I've hunted through all the list of Jody Lynn Nye's books, HOPING for at least one sequel. No luck. Ms. Nye, PLEASE WRITE SEQUELS TO THIS BOOK!

It's great! It starts off slow but it's one of the best.

The Magic Touch is a book about a boy named Raymond whos grandmother talks him into joining an organization of fairy godmothers. He becomes an apprentice to an experienced fairy godmother. He has all sorts of adventures including several run-ins with a gang of demons. Even if the plot sounds like a children's story, it definitely wasn't written for children. It starts off a little slow and I was tempted to abandon it at first but after you get into it it's really great.
