Horn Book Review

Hank's sister Emily is disappointed that Ginger the snake won't be at her birthday party. To surprise her, Hank decides to disguise himself as the Westside Wizard and make a rubber snake appear out of thin air at the party; his efforts create more magic than expected. The approachable story (in easier-to-read "Dyslexie" font) about a likable kid includes silly cartoon illustrations. (c) Copyright 2015.
