This review is from: Bruce Coville's Book of Magic II (Paperback)

Bruce Coville's books are extremely popular and well-written. Take, for instance MY TEACHER IS AN ALIEN and JEREMY THATCHER DRAGON HATCHER. This book is no exception. Bruce Coville's story in this book, THE METAMORPHASIS OF JUSTIN JONES, is about a lonely and abused boy who finds wings in Mr. Elive's Magic Shop. When he flies to escape his uncle, he finds an island where there is no hate, misery or pain. However, the old lady who makes the wings that lead to the island tells him that if he chooses to stay, he will never grow up. If he chooses to go back, he will face the same problems as before, but he will be able to, because no matter what happens he will remember that once--he flew. Does he stay or return? It's all in BRUCE COVILLE'S BOOK OF MAGIC II-an excellent book from an excellent author. (The story THE METAMORPHASIS OF JUSTIN JONES also appears in Bruce Coville's newest book ODDER THAN EVER, another 5 star book.)
