Kaytek the Wizard Summary

Kaytek the Wizard by Janusz Korczak

Kaytek, a mischievous schoolboy who wants to become a wizard, is surprised to discover that he is able to perform magic spells and change reality. He begins to lead a double life: a powerful wizard in the dress of an ordinary boy. It's all great fun using magic to cause strange incidents in his school and neighborhood, but soon Kaytek's increasing powers cause major chaos around the city of Warsaw. Disillusioned, he leaves the country and wanders the world in search of the meaning of his good intentions, his unique abilities, and their consequences. Revolving around the notion that power is not without responsibility, nor without repercussions, this story speaks to every child's dream of freeing themselves from the endless control of adults, and shaping the world to their own designs.

Kaytek the Wizard Reviews

Despite his mischievousness, Kaytek is an intelligent boy with a good heart. His story is quite enjoyable. Recommended. --Kasey Giard, Children's Literature
When young students are exposed to a diversity of communication styles, even stories outside their own culture, they are more likely to accept differences . . . for youth to appreciate the diversity of human communication is a step towards tolerance and peace. Craig Duffy, godinternational.org
