I love the Magic Shop series. It's wonderful for the middle reader, as well as an adult reading out loud to a child (or just for themselves). The Skull of Truth introduces Yorick (yes, of Hamlet fame). Ever wonder what happened to him after the soliloquy? Well, he ended up in Mr. Elive's magic shop of course. And, boy oh boy-howdy, does Yorick have a lot to say about himself and Shakespeare. What a great way to introduce a youngster to Shakespeare!

HOLD ON TO YOUR SKULL!

When Charlie Eggleston stumbles into Mr. Elive's mysterious magic shop, he's looking for a phone so he can call his parents.

What he finds is a wise-cracking skull that leads him into the adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, Charlie will learn some unexpected lessons about truth, love, friendship, and bad haircuts.

And what he finds at the end of his journey, not even the Skull of Truth could have anticipated.

Charles Eggleston stumbles into Mr. Elives mysterious magic shop, and finds a wise-cracking skull that leads him into the adventure of a lifetime. Honest!
