Join author of The Book of Mysteries, Magic and the Unexplained, Tamara Macfarlane, and Hayley of My Real Fairy Kits to explore mysteries, magic, and the art of potion creation! Imagine the power your potion could hold - perhaps it could grant you wings to soar around the world, clean up the oceans, regrow the rainforests, or even help you breathe fire! We'll wonder about all the ingredients you might need, create a code to disguise the instructions, and finally, add a touch of magic.
