Hat Trick (Published by Outlaw Entertainment; Review by Lan): How I haven't heard about this book until a week ago is beyond me. I consider myself a magic history buff and something like this was right up my alley. It follows the adventure of Ray, who is not exactly the world's greatest magician, and is transported to a magical world through his dead uncle's old top hat. Along the way he meets new friends, namely a magician named Carla that is missing her legs (imagine a girl sawed in half trick gone TERRIBLY wrong) and a six foot rabbit named Poof. Turns out Ray's uncle wasn't dead but became a dictator of the Magicverse (as well as not being his uncle at all). It's a delightful ride that's quick and easy to read. Armando Zanker's art is easy on the eyes and the story is kid-friendly. I couldn't recommend this book enough for a young reader, or people who aren't afraid to have magical fun.
