MIDNIGHT MAGIC by: Avi

This book is about a magician and his servant, Fabrizio. Mangus, the magician has been put under house arrest for practicing magic. One night, Fabrizio laid out Tarot cards to predict Mangus’s future. The cards said “The Magician, The Servant, The Castello, The King, The Ghost, The Princess, The Tutor, The Queen, and as he turned over the next card he hoped for riches, but it was, DEATH. On that same night, The Kings companion, Count Scarazoni knocked on the door and said that King Claudio called Mangus to the Castello. Fabrizio gave his master the message. Mangus didn’t know what King Claudio needed him for. King Claudio said he was forced to have Mangus the Magician use magic to free his daughter, Princess Teresina, from a terrifying ghost. Count Scarazoni thought it was a prank to keep him from marrying her, but she believes it is her brother begging for revenge of his killer. After almost every paragraph your mouth will be agape, trust me. There are many unlocked secrets I’m dying to tell you, but you should read Midnight Magic to find out the surprising secrets…

Midnight Magic is about a boy named Fabrizio and his Master Mangus. The king orders Mangus to investigate an incident involving the princess. Count Scarzoni, who wants to marry the princess to strengthen his influence over the kingdom, recommended Mangus because this was a task worthy of the magician’s powers. Midnight magic is an awesome book. If you enjoy a good mystery, this is the book for you. A ghost comes and terrorizes the King’s daughter. Is the ghost real or is it just a prank? You have to read it to find out the answer.

I really enjoyed this book. I really liked the part when Fabrizio first meets Terenisa. It's very exciting and the first really big clue to the mystery.

I thought Midnight Magic was an exciting book to read. It was unique and unlike most other fantasies because it was not entirely about the princess but instead about a servant, a magician and a ghost. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys something different.

I read Midnight Magic for a book report. I think it is a fabulous book written by a wonderful author. It is a book that you will want to finish from the very first page. Also, it is a very good book for Harry Potter lovers all over. Over all I would seriously suggest this book to any one into fiction.

I read Midnight Magic and think it is a book full of suspense. I like to read mystery and this book would be the most mystery filled book I have read. I really enjoyed the chapter when Mangus the Magician finds who is behind the so called ghost. Read the book to find out the suprising ending to this trilling tale.

Midnight Magic was a pretty exciting book. The cards part was pretty corny but it was something new which was nice. I think I reccomend this for people who want something new in a book.

I love this book. It is so mysterious. My favorite part was when Fabrizio pretended to be the ghost. And then he got Scarzoni fired and executed. I recommend it to every one especially fantasy lovers.

I also read Midnight Magic and I thought that it was amazing. I would also recommend this book for people that love a mystery. I loved how the book took place back when there were castellos amd magicians that people didn't trust.

Midnight Magic is a very interesting book for people who have alot of expierence with magic or mysteries. This book has alot of ups and downs. Midnights are always creepy and some Magic makes ghosts appear. There is a mystery about the Prince Rinaldo that got killed!My favorite part was when the ghost appeared to Fabrizio.

This is boring at times because the details are not explained vividly. I was infferent about who the ghost turned out to be. But for the most part it was a good thriller. Even though it was boring at times, it is worth the read. It is a good mystery, and there are surprises at every corner.
