School Library Journal Review
Gr 1--3--Henry Heckelbeck, younger brother of the beloved Heidi Heckelbeck, makes his series debut in this easy-to-read chapter book. Henry is excited for the first day of school. His first homework assignment, choosing three items for his "All About Me Bag," is fun and easy. But when Henry reads a spell to make toy dragons real, suddenly his first day of school becomes much more exciting than planned. This beginner chapter book has a table of contents and page numbers for the developing audience, along with large and clear type providing accessibility to the earliest of readers. Black-and-white illustrations are on almost every page, breaking up the text and providing context clues. Short chapters and a fast-moving storyline round out the perfect elements of a beginning chapter book. VERDICT A charming and relatable story with a dabble of magic and a diverse cast of characters make this early reader chapter book a solid addition to library collections.--Emily Beasley, Omaha Public Schools
Kirkus Review
This first installment in a Heidi Heckelbeck series spinoff stars Heidi's younger brother.Henry Heckelbeck's perfectly fine with being an ordinary person, unlike his female witch relatives. A kid focused on saving time, Henry's excited about being prepared for another year at school. For their first assignment, Henry and his classmates must make All About Me bags containing three items that reveal things about them. While trying to get his remote-controlled toy dragon off the shelf to complete his bag, Henry stumbles upon a mysterious old book containing both a medal and a personal dragon spell. When putting on the medal and chanting the spell unexpectedly brings his toy dragon to life, Henry must catch his dragon and keep the magical mischief under wraps. A secondary character named Mackenzie "Max" Maplethorpe (in case readers miss it, Henry makes the connection between Max and Heidi's classmate Melanie Maplethorpe) is a particularly observant threat to Henry's new, magical secret. Although the broad strokes of setup and plotline are beyond familiar, Henry's characterhigh energy and believably quirkymakes up for a lot. Aside from the story, the familiar format's large print with easy words and frequent picture breaks results in an unintimidating book for emergent independent readers. The illustrationsblack line art on white pagegenerally lack racial cues, though on the cover Henry is depicted with light skin.This gentle, lightly magical story leans on the comfort of familiarity over novelty.
