Summary: This is the story about Calvin. Calvin is a little boy who gets tickets to see a magician for his birthday. The magician was hypnotizing people and bringing them out of it by saying ‘Probuditi!’ He goes home and hypnotized his sister and made her believe that she was a dog. After a while, he was tired of it but he couldn’t remember the word to end it. So he put his sister in his wagon and he and his friend took her across the town to see the magician. They didn’t find him, so they took her back home. They got her to wake up by banging trash lids and throwing a bucket of water on her. It worked. He was sent to his room for making his sister cry and he didn’t get any of his birthday dinner or birthday cake.
Response: I liked this book. It was very funny. It also teaches the consquences of our actions.
