Don't Expect Magic di Kathy McCullough
heartwarming quick read
In this sequel to Mary Poppins she is back with a new family and all new adventures. It is based on the movie and has colorful photographs from the movie. If someone is looking for a book based on the movie this would be one to pick up. I would recommend this for any collection looking for books based on a movie.
I think this is technically YA, but it was so fluffy and light and silly that I imagine it appealing more to Disney Channel fans of the 8-10 year old range. Plus, it fits the Disney mold. Dead mom? check. Clueless dad? Check. Pseudo-rebellious-sort-of-angry-punk-chick (a la Wizard's Alex)? Check. Cute boy? Check. Fairy Godmothers? check. yikes.
The characters had zero depth. Delaney, the main character, grieves for her dead mother hardly at all, yet we're supposed to believe that they were incredibly close, like sisters, nearly. I was not impressed. This book needed a good editor--and someone to say, "Hey. This girls' mom just died. Shouldn't she have to deal with that?"… (altro)

Don't Expect Magic certainly lives up to its title. It was an entertaining novel, but it wasn't thrilling or even that magical. Like the stereotypical teenage girl, the main character was self-absorbed, whiny, and manipulative. Even though she was dealing with grief, I couldn't really sympathize with her very much.
