But sadly he is still a victim of bullying and disaster strikes when one day watching his father's toy stall the local bully Bottley causes trouble.

This incredible children's book features lively black-and-white illustrations throughout and a dyslexia-friendly layout to ensure the book is accessible to readers who are dyslexic.The plot is fun, quick moving and highly imaginative, and the reader is drawn in to the magical adventure that Max and his band of loyal friends have. It was nice we got to see Max enjoying his hobby and how he wasn't willing to give up and I'm sure young children will love reading about the magic but it wasn't integrated very seamlessly into the story and at times felt like it was there for the sake of it. I felt that at the beginning of the book it was obvious that an adult was writing it and then part way through it seemed more as though it was Max’s voice. I'm sure there will be more Max Magic adventures to come, hopefully without any mention of guns or knives.

Max's character was fun to learn about, and seeing him carry on the family tradition of being a magician.

There are also many diverse characters, which is great to see when diversity and inclusion in publishing, particularly children’s books, is very important so children can see themselves represented in books. I loved every minute of this story, as it brought back my own memories of when I was a young child, doing magic tricks from a magic box set I had. I think most children of primary school age are fascinated by magicians and magic tricks and so I imagine are likely to find Max’s story very engaging and entertaining, especially as the rather simple, straightforward storytelling is ideal for appealing to youngsters of seven to ten years old.
