*  This is my son’s review for ’A Magic Crystal?’

(1) About this book.
     Louis Sachar, 81 pages, Fiction

(2) When and where the story takes place. Also choose one important character from this book. 
     This story takes place at Casey house, the school, and Lake park. Casey is an important character in this story. She is Marvin’s girl friend. She has a magic crystal. She has a ponytail that sticks out of the side of her head. She lives in an old fire house.

(3) Briefly summarize the main events of the story.
     In the beginning, Casey tells Marvin to come to her house. Then, she shows Marvin her magic crystal. But then, Marvin gets mad Casey and wishes for her to shut up. Suprisingly, Casey really couldnot talk. But then, Marvin feels bad and wishes for her voice back. In the end, Marvin throws the crystal into the lake.

(4) On a scale of one to five, how would I compare this book to others I have read?
     It’s ’4.’ I would recommend this book because it has somethings that are not real.
