The Wizard’s Guide to Magical Experiments
by A.J. Wood, Jo Rioux (illus.)

by Kim Gruschow, Sep 2025

This stylish book of science experiments is presented as a guide for young wizards. The magical theme and enchanting detail throughout make for a hugely appealing and memorable introduction to science. Concepts like elements, the water cycle and energy are explored in 40 experiments. Materials used are everyday items like paper clips, tape and vinegar, but activities like ‘growing crystals’ and ‘invisible ink’ all have a certain supernatural flavour. There is even a section on my favourite scientific field: kitchen alchemy, which includes recipes for ‘Reaction bread’ and ‘Moon batter’. It also includes a few timely and fun ideas for Halloween-themed activities.

There are beautiful big gems on the cover, warm illustrations, and lots of special details throughout such as potion guides and other small books to discover within the pages. This is a book that will be treasured and it will make a perfect present for curious and creative kids. It’s suitable for kids aged 7–12 with some assistance from a grown-up.
