“E = mc2 is no longer the most powerful force in the
universe. Your wand is.”
Twelve-year-old Billy Bobble and his best friend Suzy Quinofski didn’t mean to
change the universe. Billy, a quantum physics prodigy, just wanted to find a
way to help his hoarding, schizophrenic mother – and maybe impress a coven of
older girls in high school. Suzy, his intellectual equal, wanted to help her
friend and cling to her last remnant of childhood, a belief in magic.
Together
they made Billy a real, working, magic wand, and opened a door to the Quantum
World where thoughts create reality, and all things – good and bad – are
possible.
My Review:
Wand’ I really didn’t know what to expect. But the book description sounded
very interesting so when I got the opportunity to read this book through CBB
Book Promotions I immediately signed up.
beginning a very interesting book. This book just doesn’t get boring. Billy
Bobble is a twelve year old extremely smart kid. Together with his best friend
Suzy Quinofski, who’s also extremely smart they try to survive High School the
best way they can. For these smart kids this means they develop a magic wand.
And what kind of wand? This wand changes Billy and Suzy’s life forever.
There is a lot of stuff happening and I just didn’t want to stop reading. I
loved how R.S. Mellette wrote this amazing book about magic wands but also
about more serious stuff, like bullying and parenting. The two main characters
Billy and Suzy are easy to love, and I just wanted to get inside this story and
help them out.
would also recommend it for adults. It’s a fun book about friendship and
finding ways to survive High School. I loved Billy and Suzy and especially the
way they interacted with each other in their own smart-intellectual way. Even
though I didn’t understand all the stuff about quantum physics, this didn’t
bother me at all. I enjoyed reading about how these smart kids thought.
want to read more about Billy Bobble. It was an easy to read book and the
writer definitely makes sure you can’t stop reading. Great job, R.S. Mellette!

That said… WOW! I'm glad you liked it.
I really really liked it! Thank you so much for checking my review out. I really appreciate it 😉
I'm so, so glad you loved it! It's hard to know when a book is kind of middle grade but yet a super smart middle grade, so almost YA. I just don't always know for sure who is going to like it. So it makes me super happy that you did! Thanks so much for reviewing!
You're welcome! I honestly didn't expect to like it this much. But is was a great story and the characters where very enjoyable! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to read it 😉
