Kate Egan writes children's fiction, picture books and tie-in material, with a catalogue that ranges from original stories to books connected with major film and television properties. The Magic Shop series, beginning with The Vanishing Coin, follows fourth-grader Mike as he discovers a real magician's shop and starts learning tricks with help from his friend Nora and magician Mr Zerlin. Golden Ticket centres on a child dealing with academic pressure and ideas about giftedness, while Kate and Nate Are Running Late! is a comic picture book. Egan's original fiction is accessible, quick and aimed at younger readers. Her work fits children's chapter books, school stories and light magical adventure, though individual catalogue entries may also be licensed adaptations or movie companions. The Vanishing Coin is the strongest route into Egan's original chapter-book fiction, where school problems and stage magic are combined for younger independent readers. Read more Less
