On the eve of her ninth birthday Molly Miggins visits the funfair where her parents are due to perform a live magic show. Molly's mum is a High Witch and her father is a stage magician who uses real magic.
During the performance the disappearing trick goes badly wrong and both of Molly's parents vanish. Molly meets a wizard who tells her that only she can rescue them.
To succeed in her quest Molly must become a junior witch and try to find a way into the mysterious 'void' where her parents have been trapped. At the witches academy Molly is given an ancient, damaged wand called, Wonky, but because of a slight twist in the wand Molly finds it almost impossible to aim a spell accurately. Can Molly master the wand and rescue her parents before the wizard’s deadline or will the nasty tricks and traps he has placed in her way prevent her from fulfilling her quest?
Magic Molly Book 1 The Mirror Maze edition by Trevor Forest Children eBooks
Molly Miggins begins her witch training a year early when she is tasked by the Magic Council with rescuing her parents from the void when their magic spell unexpectedly fails. Trevor Forest has woven a tale of magic and wonder that embraces the world of a ten year old learning magic to save her parents and the consequences if she fails in that task. The author has a real talent for creating the perfect "witchy" names for each of the characters and places in the book and he obviously remembers what it's like to be an anxious 10 year old. This is a fun read for young and old that ends too soon. I'm looking forward to book 2 in the series titled "Magic Molly Book 2 Gloop" which picks up where the Mirror Maze ended.Product details

Magic Molly Book 1 The Mirror Maze edition by Trevor Forest Children eBooks Reviews
This is a fun story of Molly, a young witch-in-the-making. When her parents perform a magic trick and disappear into the 'Void' Molly learns that it will be up to her to begin her magic career early in order to save them. There are some great characters including Henrietta Havelots, the spoiled, rich kid who will do anything to upset Molly's plans.
This is the first in a series and so the whole story is not resolved at the end of the book. That did not detract from the enjoyment of the book though it wasn't quite clear why Molly's parents had disappeared, maybe that will be explained later down the line.
The illustrations might have been better displaying a bit larger on the kindle.
Born the child of a High Witch and a Magician who uses real magic, Molly Miggins lives in an enchanted world many would envy. Molly's parents, The Great Rudolpho and the High Witch, are preparing for a live vanishing act at the funfair when - whoosh! They actually do vanish!
Molly looks backstage in the hope of finding them. Suddenly out of the mist appears a wizard, from The Magic Council, who tells her she is the only who can rescue her parents and bring them back. But, for this purpose Molly must become a witch. The wizard issues Molly with a deadline to complete her task. The problem is, although it is Molly's ninth birthday in the morning, to enter the Witches Academy and take the Witches Promise, she must be ten. At the wizard's behest, arrangements are hastily made and Molly is given special dispensation to enter the Academy a year early. She attends the Witches Promise ceremony wearing full uniform, including the wrong colour tunic, her own choice of bright yellow, and a bent hat, and armed with `the oldest spell known to witch kind' - a birthday present from her grandma. To add to this mixed bag of fortune, at the Academy she is given a crooked wand, which proves quite difficult to aim when casting spells.
Will Molly ever be able to master the wand and complete the task before the wizard's deadline, or will she lose her parents forever! Without spoiling it, that is as far as I can go, but I can tell you it is certainly worth reading the whole story.
Mr Forest seems to have an inherent aptitude for connecting with his young readers. The story has bags of humour and the narrative is well-constructed. There is also the nice little sub-plot involving Molly's antagonist, Henrietta, whose taunting and bragging Molly has been subjected to for far too long. It seems Henrietta thinks daddy's money can buy just about everything she desires. A lesson is subtlety thrown in here.
I adored Granny Whitewand with all her foibles, and Molly's first clumsy attempts at magic were engaging and comical. All in all, a fun and entertaining read.
My daughter and I both loved this book. Here are our reviews
DAUGHTER SAYS
What I liked and disliked about it
I thought that the story was a really fun adventure and I really want to read the next books. I liked that it wasn't too long of a book but it ended in a way that I really want to know what happens next because I want to know what happens to her Mom.
I liked that the way her parents disappeared in the middle of doing a magic trick where they should re-appear but instead they disappear into the void. I liked that instead of evil witches there were good witches like Molly. I thought that when she was getting her wand it was cool because there were some nice ones and some mean ones. I liked that her crazy grandma would never say her name right. Instead of "Molly" she would call her "Millie" - it was funny.
I didn't really understand what the void was and I wish it had been explained a bit better. But Mom then explained what it means and I now know that it means "nothingness" and "where failed magic goes".
My bottom line
I love loved this book and I would recommend it to girls 8 years and older.
MOM SAYS
What I liked and disliked about it
Magic Molly The Mirror Maze takes the reader on an adventure filled with intrigue and magic told through the eyes of a young, coming-of-age witch. Forest creates a fantastical world mixed with witches, wizards, magicians, and muggles and I love the way he jumps right into the story with the introduction of a fortune teller who provides Molly with a foreshadowing of things to come.
This was a really fun read. The story is peppered with humorous incidents and elements such as Molly's bumbling with early attempts at magic which result in the appearance of an endless stream of rabbits and her witch's hat growing flowers. Granny Whitewand provides a great deal of comic relief throughout the book by providing just the right amount of witchy sassiness. She insists that Molly's name is Millie, she crash-lands her "non-air-worthy" broomstick, and she disrupts the Witches Promise Ceremony when she forgets to turn on her hearing aid.
I really appreciated Forest's realistic representation of the experiences and thought processes of a typical 9 year old girl. While Molly does have a best friend in the story, Jenny (a muggle), we are also introduced to her nemesis, Henrietta (also a muggle) who is the rich snob who buys her way into the Witches Academy. Henrietta, as well as a haughty magic wand and an ungracious magic mirror are introduced in the story as some of Molly's minor adversaries with which she must contend.
Her biggest adversary is the mysterious Wizard from the High Council of Magic who both advises Molly how to find her parents and places obstacles in her path. I found this a bit confusing. When the wizard is first introduced, he tells Molly how her parents can be rescued and I initially thought that he was one of Molly's allies, but by the end of the book, it is clear he is not. In the letter from the High Council that Molly receives at the end of the book, she is described as a "worthy opponent". It is just not clear to me why her parents were kidnapped in the first place and just who is the "good guy" and who is the "bad guy". I realize that The Magic Maze is the first book in the series and that it represents the first part of the task, so I'll just have to read the next books to seek further clarification. I'm good with that! -)
My bottom line
This was a very enjoyable read. There are so many unpredictable twists that will keep you guessing what will happen next. I would highly recommend this book and the next books in the series to children aged 7+.

My 8 year old daughter really liked this book. She found it easy to read and the store kept her entranced.
It was really good and it has a twist. I loved it . Where's her mother and what's a Gloop?
I was really disappointed. I thought the story was boring. The
Only character I half way liked was the granny. I mean wow! What was this author thinking. Molly set a horrible example for the lack of concern for her parent's predicament. The character of Harriet did not fit in to the story line at all. What a disaster of a book.
