A witty, observant, deliciously satisfying autobiography.

It begins as a hilarious read, and ends as a profoundly touching tale of traumas and triumphs. I ADORED it.

It’s a runaway charmer, hands down.

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!

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.
People Magazine
A courageous and boldly honest memoir. Eric Poole says things people feel but would never admit to, which makes him vulnerable and endearing.
