Maximum Magic

It's back to school for the fifth graders at Oak Grove Elementary, and Will thinks this year is going to be great.

He has a way-cooler teacher than expected, the magic museum is open, and best of all, Max Goodman has promised him magic lessons. But Will doesn't know his world is about to be turned upside down.

With Louie Nastinelli still breathing down his neck, Max sees his chances of making the museum a success slip through his fingers. And he certainly has no time for Will's magic lessons.

Will struggles to learn magic on his own, but adding to his challenges, Grandma is ill and has moved in with the family. Despite their best efforts, she isn't getting any better.

Is magic real? Can it save the museum? And can it save Grandma?

In this contemporary adventure series, author Karleen Tauszik uses humor, tension and, of course, magic to create the perfect stories for middle grade readers.

MAYHEM AT THE NEW MUSEUM is the second chapter book in the Maximum Magic series for children ages 9 to 12. Look for Book 3, THE INFATUATION INFECTION to continue Will's adventures into Max's world of magic.
