Magic Dude by Lee Hayton is a fun read, no matter what your flavor of books you like, it is just fun! Picture Lucille Ball as a dude, white trash trailer park type, no ambition, and ends up with a stone of magic. His greedy friends think this is awesome and help him make wishes which turns themselves into a 10 yr old girl and one into a wart hog. Meanwhile, he has evil relatives and others are after said stone. Relatives he never knew he had. The crazy situations and antics seem right out of Lucille ball show if it included magic and paranormal that is! A fun and enjoyable read! Can't wait for book 2! ( )
