Why don’t you try The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho? It’s one of my favorite books. Or The Enchanter, by Fritz Leiber? It’s the origin story of Lester Dent’s pulp character, The Shadow. I really like the Shadow too.

These sound a bit advanced for kids.

I don’t know, the last two are both in the young adult category. Or do you want something in a younger age range?

Yes

I’ve heard good things about The Wednesday Wars, by Gary Schmidt.   It’s about a boy who discovers he can use magic. I also really like Pop by Gordon Korman, for kids who like to get into the history behind magic. It’s the story of how Harry Houdini’s father helped found the Society of American Magicians.

What about The Magician’s Elephant? It’s a historical children’s book by Kate DiCamillo, about a boy whose teacher and father are a team of traveling magicians. It’s funny.
