Bad Magic by Pseudonymous Bosch - review

Pseudonymous Bosch, Bad Magic (The Bad Books)

This book is about a boy who goes to Summer Camp on a desert island. He makes some unusual friends and nothing is what it seems. On a journey up a volcano, he faces many dangers and problems before the truth is revealed…

Our favourite part of the book is where the main character, Clay, meets a Spanish-speaking llama for the first time. A card around the llama's neck reads "Hola! Como se Llama?" He turns out to be Clay's summer camp guide.

This book is very enjoyable and interesting. It has very good character development and the author has included some witty comments and funny footnotes.

If you want to read a mysterious book of magic and secrets, then pick up this book and start reading!
