From inside the book
“Wait, I have an idea, let's play tag”, they were confused but they trusted me, so we played tag, three irregulars spotted us playing, and they slowly started transforming back to children, then I told them I found out how to change them back, one of the children said “by playing?”, I said “No, by doing things children like”, so we each started playing in the park, a great amount of irregulars started walking towards us, and slowly they began to be regular (but special) children again.

From inside the book
She reached out to see it better and she noticed that inscribed on the wand there was a little note that said:
“Shake me and blink”. So with a shake and a blink, before she could even realise what was happening, Aseel was instantly transported to a mysterious place... a beach!
Her mother was gone and the whole beach was empty.
A strange looking man appeared, he was wearing a hat and looked like one of the pirates that she had learned about in school.
