Book Recommendation + Giveaway!: The Magician’s Secret
Hey readers,
You may have heard that this is a very exciting time in professional hockey (or NHL hockey). That’s because it’s the Stanley Cup Playoffs! Ok, so here’s another thing that you may have heard, Toronto Maple Leafs hockey player Zachary Hyman has written a new book!
The Magician’s Secret (By Zachary Hyman and Illustrated by Joe Bluhm) is all about a boy (named Charlie) and his amazing relationship with his grandpa. Charlie loves it when Grandpa comes to visit because he always has amazing stories to tell. Until one day, Charlie’s parents challenge Grandpa’s stories, saying that they’re just ‘tall tales’. Who will Charlie believe? And how will Grandpa prove that the stories are true? You’ll have to look for this book at your local library or bookstore to find out!
