It was enlightening to know that adolescents growing up on the other side of the world go through relatable experiences. They seek to find something they love which they can passionately pursue for a lifetime whether it’s a mathematical theory, relationship, or magic trick. Josh, Sophia and all their friends struggle with the same pressures when it comes to college and the future. It felt like I was just reading about a typical high-school-outliers-who-start-dating story. The plot of this novel takes place in Melbourne, Australia but the culture was extremely similar to that of America. And this book aims to display the happiness that results from two such teenagers coming together. This book attempts to portray the difficulties present when a person from one background, family, and social class is attracted to someone who is different from him in all regards.
Josh enjoys practicing magic, has his eyes on Sophia, is unambitious, and collects antique clocks while Sophia is all brains, extremely gifted, has social anxiety and fails to relate well to others.
In Melissa Keil’s The Secret Science of Magic, we encounter the odd relationship that brews between Josh and Sophia, graduating seniors in high school, as they prepare for the next stage in life.
