BOOK REVIEWS:

"Journalist S.Z. Berg has created a completely engrossing set of stories and characters with the William Edwards book series. ... With shades of Harry Potter ... A page turner..." -- Allergic Living magazine

"My 8 year old loved the book, she came home from school and read it in one night, it took her 5 hours but she didn't want to put it down until she had finished it." -- Debbie Parkinson, Allergy Friendly Reviews (http: //www.allergyfriendlyreviews.com)

"I'd like to recommend a read for all of you readers. 'William Edwards and the Wizardly Glasses' is a cute read for children ages 8-12. ... it displays a clear message about how to self-advocate: tell an adult, have friends, and stand-up to the bully." -- Morgan Smith, AllergicChild.com (http: //AllergicChild.com)

"Every child is different in his or her own way, and William epitomizes that. William is unlike any other kid, but readers will find themselves relating to him and rooting for him throughout this book. We are excited to see where his zany adventure heads next " -- Alice Bast, Founder and President of the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) (http: //www.celiaccentral.org)

William Edwards was not good at anything, or so he was told. When he doesn't bring home a soccer trophy (when they're given out just for showing up), his banker parents (who bought him off the Internet) think he's an investment that's just not paying off. Oh, they are a frightful pair, indeed, even throwing mustard parties, with plenty of gluten, when William is allergic to mustard -- and has celiac

But everything changes for William when a knowing old lady gives him a pair of big green glasses with rose-colored lenses. His classmates tease him, because he looks like a frog. But they turn out to be wizardly glasses, and William is transported to Winkleberry, a school for children with wizzies (magical powers). There he meets a smart young girl, Bora, and another boy, Zandall, who help William learn about his wizzies and accidentally lead him to a time travel machine. But before William can travel back in time to save his real parents, who are being held captive in 1929 by a zygot (a monster that inhabits the homes of mean people), William must protect the gene pool in his fake parents' back yard from mutation
