The Magic U

By Mark Adel

Anything can happen in The Magic U: open a door, open a book, and see. ... Duncan Youze sneaks outside at night to look for a Magic U "that makes your bestest wish come true." His big sister Holly follows to keep him out of trouble. But a stranger frightens them and they run away. Lost in the woods, they discover a cottage and a secret passage lined with doors. When the stranger reappears, they dash through a doorway, taking off on a wild flight of imagination. In a maze of amazing worlds, Holly and Duncan meet all kinds of crazy characters: a beefy boy who can fly, a rainbow-stabbing rabbit, a wolf in ewe's clothing, an infant princess on a planet of stuffed animals, and many more, some friendly, others not. Along the way, they learn to appreciate each other and themselves, but will they escape the stranger? And will they ever find their way home? The Magic U is a modern adventure that follows in the footsteps of children's classics like Alice in Wonderland, Hansel and Gretel, The Wizard of Oz, and Peter Pan-with a nod and a wink at grown-up books too. There's nothing quite like The Magic U, for children and their grown-ups, a wonderful blend of fantasy and fun that explores the magic of books and the mystery of growing up.
