Kit, a young wizard, sneaks out one night with his best friend, Henry, the royal prince. The go to see the Queen's newest animal: a werewolf! The boys start playing on the ledge of the wall that keeps in the werewolves. Suddenly, Henry falls in! Henry has to be rescued and cured from the werewolf poison. The Queen calls on her man of science, Stafford Sparks. Sparks begins using his newest invention, a machine that gives off painful shocks of electricity to get rid of the werewolf posion. Kit doesn't trust Stafford Sparks and his machine. He thinks they are only hurting Henry. Kit believes he could cure Henry with his magic, but he is frustrated because the law has outlawed magic in the castle. Kit has a plan and it starts by helping Henry escape from the castle. What Kit doesn't know is that instead of getting better, things are about to change for the worse!
This is a great book that takes you on adventures all through London. A Handful of Magic by Stephen Elboz makes you want to keep reading until you discover what happens to Kit and Henry. I recommend this exciting book!

has come.
Where the clouds
hug the ground,
The birds
sit in the trees quietly watching,
Everything
is wet,
Everything
is still,
Except for bare branches
slowly dripping dew drops
one by one.
A misty day.

In Iceland, the hot chocolate cost $6.27 per cup (420 Krona divided by 67 Krona per dollar)
In Paris, the hot chocolate cost $6.30 per cup (First find the cost of one cup of hot chocolate: 12.40 euro divided by 2.5 because there were 2.5 cups in the pitcher. That's 4.96 euro per cup. Then multiply 4.96 by $1.27 per euro.)
