Midnight
Magic
by Avi |
Review by Meghan Fitzpatrick
The name of my book is called Midnight Magic.
The author's name is Avi. This book is about a servant, and an old
Magician (whose name is Mangus) trying to solve the mystery of the haunting
of a princess. Beside the princess there is an evil count, a king
and a queen. This is a fiction book.
This story happens around 1491 in the time
of knights, castles and kings. Most of the story takes place in an
old, mysterious castle looking over a small town.
In the story, there is a boy named Fabrizio,
who is a servant. He is tall, thin, with brown hair and brown eyes.
Fabrizio is a very mischievous and curious boy. He is also very caring
and willing to help. Fabrizio is important to the story because he
is the one that helps solve the mystery. He also protects and saves
the princess.
The most exciting part was when Mangus, Fabrizio
and the Princess Therisina were pretending to bring the dead Prince's ghost
back to life. When this was happening, the princess said, "It's Lorenzo!
He has returned!" The queen said "It's my son!" Everyone stood
there, lost for words. The king needed to be persuaded that the princess
could not marry the Count Scarazoni because he was the one who wanted the
crown. The Prince had to go to France, so the Count ordered his body
guard to kill Prince Lorenzo. What actually happened took me by surprise,
and I think that it will be the same with you.
I think twelve-year-olds and up would like
this book because its full of mystery, action and suspense. i myself
loved the book. I could not put it down. Avi has always been
one of my favorite authors
