Ah, I feel as if I have stolen a little bit of that star for WAND.

Hello, some of these sound like children's/teenagers' books. Mine are 15 and 10. Would they like any of these do you think?
I read Wand last weekend and found it very inspirational. What a great resource for those who want to write for children.
