LitPick Review
Whose mom just visited the hypnotist and is now acting like a duck? It is Bradley and Brian's mom in the book, May Magic, by Ron Roy. This book is one of the Calendar Mystery books. Bradley and Brian took their mom to see Hypo the Hypnotist and now they think she has been hypnotized into thinking she is a duck. She is quacking like a duck, splashing in her bathtub, poured corn around the house, and wanted to play in the rain. More than anything the boys wanted their real mom back and wanted to get rid of the duck silliness.
Opinion:
I really liked this book. It was interesting and funny at the same time. It was a fun mystery to read. I wanted to know what was going on with their mom as much as the boys did. The ending really did surprise me. I would recommend this book to students in second and third grade. It is a good book for kids just starting to read chapter books.
