The Magic Camera
Fantasy, adventure, mystery/suspense, educational (photography terms and detailed descriptions about photography) Target age: 10-13
Annabel looked through the lens at her family. Oh how she wished they would all act a little more normal. She snapped the pictures and then developed them herself in her photography class. How strange, these weren't the pictures she took... In these pictures her family looked, well, more normal. The picture of her teacher was different too. And the ones of the popular kids at school. Just like she'd wished!
In fact, everyone was different. And not just in the pictures...
Annabel got what she wished for. The popular kids wanted her, the cutest boy in school wanted her, her teachers were fun and her family was normal. But...
This wasn't what Annabel expected. And, she discovered, it wasn't what she wanted after all. Now she must find a way to undo what the Magic Camera had done.
"The Magic Camera" is an exciting fantasy adventure chapter book that even reluctant readers finish fast. Readers who have graduated to chapter books, but prefer a shorter faster-moving book, will be enchanted by "The Magic Camera". It's a quick read, but meaty enough to provide confidence, exposure to new vocabulary and ideas, and a sense of reading accomplishment.
