A wonderful series5
Oh happy day! For years I've been trying to remember enough about these books to track them down, and now a search engine has done it for me. I read this series of "Trick" books probably in their first printing and adored them. Now that I have children of my own, I've been trying to figure out how to describe them to a librarian in order to track them down. Now with a few clicks, here they are! I only hope they all come out in an affordable format soon. Kerby may not be the original Harry Potter, but I can't wait to re-read all of these. Yippee!

Worth mixing up a batch4
Ah yes, those were much simpler times, when you could write a book that involved making magic potions with a chemistry set and drinking them or placing them in a lemonade vat... and not worry about getting sued. I'm curious - does the book come with a warning now? Or has the story been edited to reflect safer lab practices? Of course, to this end, few chemistry sets include anything that'll kill you anymore, either (justifiably so, I guess).

All cynical humor aside, this is a terrific children's book. The rest of the series is well worth tracking down, also.

Wonderful author and book!4
I read (multiple times) and loved this book when I was a kid. I recently brought all my old books from my mother's house, and am reading them to my children. My 8 year old son and 4 year old daughter LOVED this book! Scott Corbett draws you into the story, and keeps you alternately laughing, groaning, and shouting "Oh no!". We have added Corbett to our list of favorite authors, and are reading more "Trick" books, as well as some of the other serial books he wrote.

This book is definitely one you want to have in your home library, so you can read it again and again.
