BOOK REVIEW: The Good Wizard by PrasunRoy

 

Do you read only age appropriate books? Or do you still hover around children book shelf and enjoy reading them?

I enjoy reading  children  fiction still now as it reminds me of my school days when summer vacation meant, buying  children magazine and books and spending the entire vacation devouring them (forgetting about the holiday homework).Now that I have a kid at home, I have more excuse to give .

This book The Good Wizard by Prasun Roy made me revisit my childhood days when I was keen on reading books on Magic, Wizard, and Witches and henceforth.

The story is about a little girl name Titli who is 11 years old, and always wanted to become a magician. In her village she was quiet popular among her friends for her quirky tricks which she learned from here and there.  Destiny makes her meet the most famous wizard, Badshah Bisht who is suffering from deadly disease which wipes out memories. Before the evil takes over the good, the good old wizard plans to pass on his knowledge, which includes very famous, The Dance of the Phoenix to someone who will become his protégé .Will Titli help Badshah come out from the deadly disease? Will she undo the injustice done to the good old wizard

The Good Wizard portrays a very positive and supportive relationship between a teacher and a student. Titli’s dedication to become a wizard shows us that every great dream begins with a dreamer, and a great teacher can change a student’s life. The beautiful illustration in the book made reading more fun.  Language used is easy keeping in mind that the readers are mainly children. The book font is very comfortable to read and lastly this book is for those brave children out there who dare to define destiny.

This ebook has some powerful lines written in simple yet engaging style. As I could relate everything said in the book , I made sure to highlight the lines on my kindle  and read every time I needed a moral boost. There are ten chapters but every chapter is connected with each other, so you need to read it thoroughly to get the best help from it.

The part which I loved the most is where the author mentions about having Me time, pampering oneself. Have you ever felt guilty of wasting time in pampering yourself while you have lots of work to do? I do at times. It is one of the most important yet neglected aspect in my life.   With easy solution this book makes it clear that it doesn't matter where you are or who you are or what kind of circumstances you are in.
