MAGIC AIN'T FOR WIMPS! BOOK FOUR —THE RETURN OF THE PRINCE: Oliver, Pamela and her cat father enter Bast’s secluded Egyptian world. Pamela seems happy to adjust and learn ancient magic there. However, Oliver has concerns about the strict world devoted to worshiping Bast. As a non-cat, he is not welcome and must leave. His fears about the underlying viciousness come true when he is the target of human sacrifice. His fears about Charlie manifest when Charlie joins with Ogilby. Is it a ploy or has the 7-year-old betrayed his friends? The search for the Cherish wands takes Oliver, Pamela and the aunts, flying on magical creatures, to a deserted casino resort. The Copa Room turns into the cobra room. A lounge lizard holds the group hostage, forcing them to reveal their most painful secrets. To fight Ogilby, Oliver undergoes a dangerous ritual to earn a Cherish wand. On Ogilby’s orders, the wicked leprechaun at Dingbats School holds the students captive and devises a fiery competition to kill Oliver and his friends. The students ban together in a fierce battle at Ogilby’s castle fighting the Untouchables and other fiends. In the final show down, Oliver pursues Ogilby to a missile launch site for an atomic astro-blasto ending. /What Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Expert Reviewers said about Bats in the Belfry! "This work of children's literature was very visually appealing and quirky. The author created a magical, alternative universe that looks like Pleasantville but is home to mythical creatures like dragons and trolls." * "Well-written and has an interesting concept of parallel worlds going for it. As long as there is a market for fantasy stories, this kind of book will probably be popular. " * "I enjoyed the way the witches referred to the mundane, human world as "the humbug world" and found all of the witches to be humorous and entertaining. They reminded me of my grandmother and her friends, meddling in everyone else’s business and being silly." * "The strongest aspect of the story would definitely be the author's ease at creating and delivering an entirely familiar, yet utterly unique and vivid world that mimics the 1950's and is home to witches and all sorts of fun, magical odds and ends." * "Boys and girls will really like this story since they will have Oliver and Pamela to travel with and Dennis the emerald colored dragon will surely entice them. Whoever imagined a fire breathing dragon that acted like a puppy dog?! I thought that was very fun and entertaining. Definitely would recommend to my friends who have young kids that enjoy magic."
