Why it stands Out:  Trouble with Magic oozes Asha’s characteristic style which essentially is funny and filled with crazy adventure.  The story is simple yet interestingly told.   Wonderfully illustrated this book is a good read for the 8-12 year age group.

Tips for Moms and Teachers: Some activities you can link to this book are:
Talk about magic.  Take the story to a new level by telling children magic really lies within.  If we believe in ourselves we can change anything!
Talk about rules.  Why it’s not cool to break rules, perhaps?
