Synopsis:

An eleven-year-old boy who loves the Harry Potter books even though he has dyslexia recounts how he designed an original board game base on the stories, and entered it in his school's invention contest.

Synopsis: The autobiography of an eleven-year-old boy who describes how he created a board game based on the popular Harry Potter series Ben Buchanan of 814 Grinnell Drive was proud to say that he had a mystical life, thank you very much. "I'm normal," Ben says, "but I'm not normal." Well, let's let him tell the story: I'm normal because I am a normal kid--going to school, being happy, getting homework, having a family. I'm not normal because I'm dyslexic. I have a scar on my head. I'm not normal because mystical things happen to me. Thus begins the autobiography of an eleven-year-old boy who describes how he created a board game based on the popular Harry Potter series and entered it into his school's yearly Invention Convention, where it became an instant hit. How did he bring the characters and settings beloved by millions off the page and into his life? Letters, owls, broomsticks, forests, staircases, as well as bullies, garage sales, dyslexia, and competition all figure in this fascinating book about how one child brought the magic of Harry Potter to life.

An inspiring story suitable for parents who want to encourage their children's imagination, and for all kids who want to have fun in imaginary worlds.
