It begins as a hilarious read, and ends as a profoundly touching tale of traumas and triumphs. I ADORED it.
Florence Henderson
A courageous and boldly honest memoir. Eric Poole says things people feel but would never admit to, which makes him vulnerable and endearing.

It made me jump up and down and holler ’Yummy’, like my grandmother Mary Lucille’s red velvet cake!
Leslie JordanCo-Star of Boston Legal and Will & Grace

An absolute must-read book for the outcast in all of us, WHERE’S MY WAND is hilarious and heartfelt. I could not put this book down. It’s a rare treat.

Oh, my… Eric Poole’s journey of self-delusion and self-discovery had me laughing one minute, crying the next, and rooting for him every second. This charming book is a TV series waiting to happen!

A witty, observant, deliciously satisfying autobiography.
Kirkus Reviews
*Starred Review * Punctuated with HIGHLY effective humor, this book is a magnetic collection of real stories that sheds a new light on life in the Midwest.
Kirkus Reviews
Equally funny and poignant, Poole’s memoir-in-essays is like David Sedaris by way of Judd Apatow.
Michelle Hart - BOOK RIOT
Gut-splittingly funny, Wand is also a deeply moving account of a boy’s attempt to control his world with his own brand of magic.
