Rating: - Writing Magic
I thought writing magic was a very good book but that it was meant more for younger kids. The advice was useful for writing stories and it was really cool to learn how to write from my favorite author. If you are in 3rd, 4th, 5th, and even 6th or 7th grade i would highly recommend this book if you are interested in being a writer. I would still recomend this book to older people but wouldn't base everything i write on it.
