Join the adventure. Break the curse. Find your way home. A magical new adventure from the bestselling author of THE IMPOSSIBLE BOY.
Victor is skeptical when Walter Swizwit comes to the village of Rainwater. He’s the latest in a string of inventors passing through, and no one wants to buy his cheap magic tricks. But Walter doesn’t take rejection well, and puts a curse on the village.
Only Victor is unaffected and he must leave Rainwater for the first time in his life if he’s to find the cure. Victor’s path takes him past other villages that Walter has damaged, and he picks up new companions on the way: Elena, handy with bow and arrow, Mo-Lan, a science prodigy, and scaredy-cat Mingus.
It’s soon clear that they underestimated Walter’s power. Only he has the cure for his magic and he’s locked away in his castle a thousand leagues away. But he’s not the only inventor out there… If Victor and his friends can get someone more powerful on their side, maybe they can win: find Walter, break the curse and return as heroes.
After all, there’s no place like home…

This is a fictional book about a town that has a new inventor trying to show off his tricks. No body liked him so he put a curse on the town. The main character didn't get cursed so he wanted to help his town and try to break the curse. He had to go on a journey to find a cure and made friends along the way who helped him. I really enjoyed this book.
This is a super funny fiction book and is filled with thrills and suspense too. I didn't really have a favourite character as I loved them all. I would recommend this to any treasure seeking adventurers
A great fantasy story that i couldn't put down!
I enjoyed that! It felt a little like the Wizard of Oz at the start where the character started a journey to find help but along the way he met others who had problems to sort so they joined him on his mission. An evil inventor poisoned Victor's parents so he needed to track him down so he could reverse it. A story about how if people work together, they can all help each other to live better lives.
