Magic Handbook

Book excerpt: As Sabrina knows, its not easy being a teenage witch, which is why she never goes anywhere without this MAGIC HANDBOOK full of spells and rules and magic tests. It's a fun and simple way to discover the science of everyday life, including the smells, sounds, sights and other occurrences of 'magic' which are all around us. In new and exciting ways, Sabrina looks at the science of our world, such as why does the scent of eucalyptus wake you up, but lavender calm you down (and which will help just before a big exam!). Which colour makes you work harder and which one makes you happy? How do we get goose bumps and what are the real secrets behind photosynthesis and raising bread. Sabrina will even reveal how to make it rain in the kitchen! Sabrina shows that not everything that looks like magic really is and that the real magic is all around us in the everyday world.
