Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Magic Master
R A Montgomery · 1992
70/100
👍 Worth It
Choose Your Own Adventure at its functional best — a young reader gets to explore a magician's house and direct the story, which is exactly what the format promises and delivers. The stage-magic premise keeps the content clean and imaginative without any genuine occult dimension. It is not a distinguished volume in the series, and the authorship misattribution in the catalog is a minor flag, but as an engaging tool for reluctant readers it earns its place.
