ABOUT THE BOOK
Herndon, VA; April 2, 2019: Mascot Books announces the
release of Abracadabra Whoopsie by
Adam Kargman; Illustrated by Tristan Tait
What if you could
make your little sister disappear?
When Jordy discovers a magic wand, he learns he
can do just that. Whenever he wants some peace and quiet, all he has to do is
say “Abracadabra Whoopsie,” and . . . Poof! His little sister Keeka vanishes.
When he’s ready for her to come back, he simply says it reversed: “Whoopsie
Abracadabra.” Easy as that.
But after
the wand is stolen, Jordy must recover it or risk losing his sister forever!
MY BOOK REVIEW
This is a very cute children's book talking about a first child having to deal with the new baby. When it comes to grade level reading I would say 2nd-3rd grade because there are some tricky long words in this book. Tristian Tait did an amazing job with the illustration. Every page had some really fun details. Some of the drawings remind a little of Manga. This is a great bedtime story. The best part about this book it had a surprise twist I never saw coming.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
 |
| Adam Kargman |
Adam Kargman, an award-winning filmmaker, novelist, and attorney, lives in Encino,
California, with his wife and their two children. Abracadabra Whoopsie is his first foray into children’s fiction.
The story was inspired by the sibling rivalry he witnessed between his kids,
which led him to wonder what would really happen if one sibling’s dream to make
the other one vanish came true. His goal was to write a book that was equally
fun to children and the adults reading to them. With wacky humor and richly
detailed illustrations, Abracadabra
Whoopsie is a story that anyone with a sibling can relate to, capped with
exciting twists and an ending that may bring a tear to your eye. The book
teaches that remembering happy moments is a good corrective to moments of anger
or jealousy.
Adam is also the author of the novel Nagle’s Mercy, which was hailed by Kirkus as a "thoroughly
enjoyable edge-of-your-seat read" with "nonstop action and palpable
psychological tension," and designated a SELF-e Select title by the staff
of Library Journal. He has also written and directed several award-winning
films.
