5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery, magic, and good tension evolve, August 5, 2002

By 

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paint by Magic (Time Travel Mysteries) (Hardcover)

Conner's mother suddenly turns strange, wearing old-fashioned clothes and even removing all TVs from the house - but it isn't until Conner is whisked to the past that he begins to understand the reasons for her actions - and to wonder if his family will ever be the same. Mystery, magic, and good tension evolve to create a satisfying story with many unpredictable twists and turns.

5.0 out of 5 stars First Summer reading book that was worth reading! (A Kid's Review), April 8, 2010

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Paint by Magic (Time Travel Mysteries) (Paperback)

Paint by Magic was my Summer reading book and I absolutely loved it! The beginning was kind of slow but by the end I was completely into the book, it was impossible to put down! It all starts when Conner, an average boy comes home from school and finds that his mother is baking, something that she doesn't normally do, and her personality is completely changed, suspicious, Conner comes across a sketch in an old book lying around his house and the sketch holds a secret that transports Conner back in time. To find out what happens next, read the book!

2.0 out of 5 stars Paint by Magic, November 16, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Paint by Magic (Time Travel Mysteries) (Paperback)

I first read this book when I was in fifth grade. I thought it was the best book I had ever read. I picked it up again in the sixth, and I thought it was horrible. I thought it was badly written, though I could not tell in the fifth grade. I didn't get a feel for the characters either. I thought that they said "freaky" way too much at the wrong times. They really annoyed me. I did, however, love the plot. It was so creative and gripping. This could have been a better book.
