Magical Children: The Boy Who Could Fly
Sally Gardner
When Thomas’s wish is magically granted, he can fly! But it’s not a soaraway success . . . A brilliant story from award-winning author Sally Gardner, in her MAGICAL CHILDREN series.
One day a fairy turns up at Thomas Top’s house to grant him a birthday wish. Thomas wishes he could fly and soon goes from being just an ordinary boy whom no one notices to being the most popular boy in the school. But his flying gets him suspended from school, and that makes his dad so cross and his mum miserable. Then the fairy turns up again and, with help from her and Thomas’s new friend Mr Vinnie, a retired painter and decorator who has been flying since he was Thomas’s age, everything changes.
An enchanting story about growing in confidence and using your gifts.

I enjoyed it because the boy who could fly met a man who could also fly.

I thought this story was good. I thought the story was very good because when it said a fat fairy came into Thomas bedroom it made me laugh. I loved the fat fairy because she can make wishes for you on a random birthdays. Yes because it is very good and when you start to read, it you just want to keep reading.

This book is very well written. It is a fictional book. My favourite character is Mr Vinnie as he is watching Thomas Top, the boy who could fly, mess about in his garden and decides that he should continue his flying as he was discouraged because his wife died. I would recommend this book to anyone aged between 8-11.

This book is (4 star rating), this is because this book tells about a boy’s birthday and a fairy asks him what he wants for his birthday and he wishes he wants to fly but this causes trouble later in the story. Everyday he would fly to school until one day it was time for P.E. and he jumped on the trampoline which made him jump so high which causes trouble, he needed help getting down from his P.E. Teacher.
