What is magic?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Will and Pete are very close teenage brothers, but one day Will is struck down by a strange paralyzing illness. Will this illness ultimately separate the brothers, or will they endure through it? The two boys soon begin a game of 'masks,' which they played long ago before they even went to school. Putting on the animal masks, which their anthropologist father has collected from around the world, the boys for a while become the animal in their imagination. Is this game helpful to Will or is it harmful? Are the masks really magic, as the primitive peoples who made them believe? What sinister thing happened in the past and how does this event relate to the game? This is a book about the role which both the mind and social relationships play in healing. It is also a book about magic, telepathy and the strange twists of fate that life can play.
