Where's My Wand? by Eric Poole
"Gut-splittingly funny...a deeply moving account of a boy's attempt to control his world with his own brand of magic." --People magazine, 4 stars.Tracey Ullman once described Eric Poole as "the best undiscovered writer I ever met." Now the world can enjoy his achingly honest wit and gift for capturing real life characters in this memoir about growing up in the 1970's with an obsessive-compulsive mother and a crush on Endora from Bewitched.
In nearly 20 years as a reporter and columnist, Eric Poole has received more than 30 regional, statewide, and national journalism awards for subjects ranging from sports to the environment and business to politics. In 2008, Poole received first-place Keystone Awards from the Pennsylvania Newspaper Association for general column writing and for special subject with Act of Courage, the story upon which his first book Forgotten Honor was based.
He has interviewed some of America's most illustrious figures, including presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Pittsburgh Steelers President and US Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney, and was part of the audience for Leslie Sabo's Medal of Honor award ceremony.
Poole is a reporter for the Ellwood City Ledger and Beaver County Times newspapers in the Calkins Media chain. Previously, he was a reporter and editor for Gateway Publications (now part of the Tribune-Review's Trib Total Media chain). The author lives in Ellwood City, PA.
