Laurie NotaroAuthor of The Idiot Girl's Action-Adventure Club
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
It begins as a hilarious read, and ends as a profoundly touching tale of traumas and triumphs. I ADORED it.
Florence Henderson
A witty, observant, deliciously satisfying autobiography.
Kirkus Reviews
A touching and RIOTOUSLY funny story about one boy’s search for his personal and creative identities. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll keep your jazz hands to yourself, Mister!
Judith Newmanauthor of To Siri, With Love
Eric Poole unfurls his shag carpeted, Match Game-lovin’ 70’s childhood with incredible wit and honesty. Light up a Winston, open a Tab and tuck in!
Simon DoonanAuthor of Beautiful People
A courageous and boldly honest memoir. Eric Poole says things people feel but would never admit to, which makes him vulnerable and endearing.
Wendy E. Simmons, author of My Holiday in North Korea
Equally funny and poignant, Poole’s memoir-in-essays is like David Sedaris by way of Judd Apatow.
