(4) 4-6 Magic Shop series. Illustrated by Katherine Coville. The first of Coville's Magic Shop books is slightly revised to make it more consistent with other volumes in the series. The plot remains unchanged: fifth-grader Russell Crannaker buys a ring at Mr. Elives's shop and acquires the ability to turn into a monster. He wreaks havoc at his classroom Halloween party and later gets even with his nemesis in this fast-paced, if somewhat slick and predictable, story.
