Book Description

9 and up4 and up
Ben Buchanan of 814 Grinnell Drive was proud to say that he had a mystical life, thank you very much. "I'm normal," Ben says, "but I'm not normal." Well, let's let him tell the story:

I'm normal because I am a normal kid--going to school, being happy, getting homework, having a family. I'm not normal because I'm dyslexic. I have a scar on my head. I'm not normal because mystical things happen to me.

Thus begins the autobiography of an eleven-year-old boy who describes how he created a board game based on the popular Harry Potter series and entered it into his school's yearly Invention Convention, where it became an instant hit. How did he bring the characters and settings beloved by millions off the page and into his life?

Letters, owls, broomsticks, forests, staircases, as well as bullies, garage sales, dyslexia, and competition all figure in this fascinating book about how one child brought the magic of Harry Potter to life.

An inspiring story suitable for parents who want to encourage their children's imagination, and for all kids who want to have fun in imaginary worlds.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not just for kids!, October 3, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: My Year with Harry Potter (P) (Paperback)
Ben Buchanan has written a charming book examining the year he fell in love with the Harry Potter books and conquered his dyslexia. The author's voice is clear regarding his love for the magic he finds when transported to Harry Potter's world and Ben's desire to make the experience last as long as possible. The photographs and drawings are wonderful and help the reader understand the great care Ben took as he created a board game of Harry Potter trivia. Adults who love children and children who love Harry Potter should read this book.
