Say the magic words with moi, won't you? Hocus-Pocus, Alakazam, Bippidy-Boppidy-BOO! (Not to be confused with Bippidy Bag.) What magically appeared for you? For moi, it was the latest episode of MEG-A-RAE, the Library's video readers' advisory blog featuring Savvy and Programma Mama.
This week's episode features--wait for it--magic.
I thought you had to have a magic wand or something similar to do magic tricks, Programma Mama. Apparently not, if you're a true wizard. Or wizardess? Is that even a word?
Books about magic are fun reads around Halloween time. We have a few book trailers featuring some such books, which I'll gladly share. These four books are gauged for young readers between ages 10-14, or thereabouts. Adults seem to enjoy them, too.

P.S. Pilot released "Magic" in 1974 (1975 in the U.S.), proving once again that '70's pop music was sappy. But this is a catchy tune, despite its inane lyrics. I can't help liking it. Sorry. In 1974 the tune topped the Canadian pop charts and reached #11 on the British singles charts. In 1975 it reached #5 on Billboard's Hot 100 pop singles charts. Hey, this sound was quite popular back in the day.
