Polly is the wayward witch of the title. She has no skill for spells (or so it seems) and sadly she has no witch friends. The feelings monster is Buster. He is a monster but he is also Polly's bestest best friend in the whole world.
In this world of witches and warlocks there is huge prejudice against monsters and this was the aspect of this book that I found most interesting. Think about a passage like this :
"Then Buster stands to one side to let the witches get on first, just as his mother has taught him. And just as his mother has taught him, he is careful to pick a seat at the back with the other monsters - not in front where the witches like to sit. After all a monster must always know their place."
The idea of a feelings monster is also an intriguing one. When Buster is happy he swells up to an enormous size but when he is sad he shrinks. Polly goes on a school excursion to the National Gallery where they study portraits of famous humans. On the same day, Buster, and his class also go the gallery. Polly knows their special friendship must be kept secret. She says some cruel things about monsters as a way to stay friends with a classmate and Buster hears her.
"Buster is curled up on the hard floor in a great ball. Polly has never seen him so small and so grey. It's as if every last bit of light has been squashed out of him, and all that's left is a hard mass of grey fur, twisted and dry as a dishcloth."
It is this awful scene that literally sparks wild magic out of Polly.
This is a joyous story with some clever ideas. I especially love the food. Polly's mum cooks awful things such as mealworms, thistle and kale salad, and for recess she has bats' ears. Meanwhile next door the monster family enjoy flummery cake topped with bilberries and slathered with cream and Buster brings jamcakes when they meet up in their special tree. What a perfect word - slathered. I should also mention Polly's teacher and her wonderful clothes.
"She has curly red hair . and she jangles with silver jewellery when she walks. Instead of the plain black school cape most of the Academy teachers wear, Miss Spinnaker wears a velvet cape embroidered with colourful threads and studded with little octagonal mirrors. Polly thinks Miss Spinnaker is glorious."

Reviews for "Experience the Awe-Inspiring Magic of the Hobby Center's Champions"
1. Samantha - 2 stars
I was very disappointed with the Champions of Magic show at the Bobby Center. The illusions were poorly executed and it was clear that they were relying heavily on special effects rather than actual skill. The host's jokes fell flat and the overall pacing of the show was awkward. I expected a high-energy and mesmerizing performance, but instead I left feeling underwhelmed. Save your money and choose a different magic show in town.
2. Michael - 1 star
I can honestly say that Champions of Magic at the Bobby Center was one of the worst magic shows I have ever seen. The tricks were predictable and lacked any real astonishment. The performers seemed unenthusiastic and the production quality was subpar. The audience interaction was forced and the whole experience felt like a low-budget attempt at magic. I would strongly advise against wasting your time and money on this show.
3. Lisa - 2 stars
I had high expectations for the Champions of Magic show, but unfortunately, it did not live up to them. The illusions were mediocre at best, and the performers lacked the charisma and stage presence that I have seen in other magic shows. The overall production value was lacking and the pacing of the show was off. I left feeling unimpressed and regretful of spending money on tickets. I would not recommend this show to anyone looking for a truly mesmerizing magic experience.
