Author Description
Watch your step! This is a book which doesn't play straight. The Magician's house is like that too - things move around. If you're the sort of person who needs predictability, then pick up another book, curl up and enjoy it. This book won't mind. But if you want to take an active part in a book then stick around. You might be just the reader this book has been waiting for. Dreams swirl around in the Magician's house just like dust does in the corners of other houses. Little stories get stuck in the crannies. Just for a moment, while you are sweeping, you can find yourself running across a green field, steering an iron horse through twisty roads, or picking ripe strawberries in a bright, warm field. Some mornings, just getting to breakfast is an adventure. What readers have said: "This book is good, and I mean immersive, elegant, well-written good. Great for children who don't like reading as much as they should." In this interactive adventure for ages 10 - 12, YOU say which way the story goes.
Menrva's Summary
THE PULSE
The unpredictable nature of the Magician's house challenges the reader to actively participate in shaping the narrative. The house itself is a character, with its contents shifting and dreams swirling like dust. The protagonist, who is the reader, must navigate this fluid environment where ordinary actions like getting to breakfast can become an adventure. The primary opposition comes from the house's inherent instability and the reader's own choices, which determine the direction of the story.
