Wall Street Journal bestselling author Charlie N. Holmberg returns to the enchanting world of The Paper Magician.

Alvie Brechenmacher has arrived in London to begin her training in Polymaking - the magical discipline of bespelling plastic. Polymaking is the newest form of magic, and in a field where there is so much left to learn, every Polymaker dreams of making the next big discovery.

Even though she is only an apprentice, Alvie is an inventor at heart, and she is determined to make as many discoveries - in as short a time frame - as she can. Luckily for her, she’s studying under the world-renowned magician Marion Praff, who is just as dedicated as Alvie is.

Alvie’s enthusiasm reinvigorates her mentor’s work, and together they create a device that could forever change Polymaking - and the world. But when a rival learns of their plans, he conspires to steal their invention and take the credit for it himself.

To thwart him, Alvie will need to think one step ahead. For in the high-stakes world of magical discovery, not everyone plays fair…

Another wonderful addition to the magical series. I hope to see another book in the future.

Fantastic!

I very much enjoyed the 3 books in Holmberg's Paper Magician series and The Plastic Magician was just as good. I really like following these characters and their magical lives. I love how the author gives such strength and intelligence to these women during a time when women were so extremely underestimated and under appreciated. I hope this series will continue! I'm ready for the next story.

Another great Holmberg Book

Great young adult book. I was confused at first where the characters where from the first two books but then it became clear this was years later about another apprentice. I very much enjoyed her story and flew through this read.

So good best of the series so far
