Editorial Reviews

Harold Underdown

Writing Magic is a great introduction to writing for children. The “voice” is upbeat and not condescending. It is clearly written, and includes examples when they are needed. As far as I know, there is nothing else like this available.

Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

Levine is a friendly mentor in these pages.
