Merdyn the Wild is from the Dark Ages. He’s the world’s greatest Warlock (don’t call him a wizard), banished to the 21st century for bad behaviour, and he’s about to create a whole load of trouble for Rose, aged 12.
Rose is a totally ordinary girl, on a mission to mend her broken family.
Bubbles is Rose’s guinea pig. He just poos a lot.
When Rose bumps into Merdyn and discovers what he is, she quickly realises that he could be just what she needs. Rose agrees to help Merdyn navigate the confusing ways of the modern world (things like: the lidded bowl in the bathroom is NOT a sink, it’s a TOILET, so definitely DON’T wash your face in it) if Merdyn gives her a spell to fix her family in return.
Now they just need to hide him in the shed without Rose’s mum noticing, track down Merdyn’s magic staff and find a way to send Merdyn back through time to the Dark Ages. What could possibly go wrong…?
From the writer of the Paddington 2 movie and writer and star of Horrible Histories, this hilariously silly, heartfelt adventure with a historical twist is perfect for fans of David Walliams and David Baddiel.

Full of adventure
So funny
a fantastic comical story of a wizard crashing most abruptly and unceremoniously into the life of rose who has enough problems of her own.
I really loved this book. It was very funny and interesting. My favourite character was Bubbles. I would recommend this book to people aged 7 to 10.
Really good, I’m now reading the next book! I couldn’t put the book down.
Ver good and funny
I really enjoyed reading this book! It was very funny. I would recommend it to slightly younger children though.
Very humerous! I loved it when Bubbles talked!
It was very funny.
It is very funny. I like how Merdyn uses old language e.g "thou". I also like how he hates Harry Potter and calls a phone a "smart - foam"!
:)
This book was extemely funny! My favourite character is Rose because even though her family don't always listen to her she is kind to them. Definitely recommend this to people who like comedy.
This book was okay I guess
It is so funny and my favourite characters are Merdyn and Bubbles
It is about a wizard named merdyn that gets banished to the 21st century but Hilda helps him get back to his own timeline
Very funny. Bubbles is my favourite character.
it was exiting but there wasn't to much adventure
It was very funny and me laugh all the way through
Great book. Would recommended.
This is a book about a wizard called Merdyn who gets banned from the dark ages to the twentieth century. He meets a girl who lives in Bashingford and funny things happen. One of my favourite parts was when Merdyn makes everyone float then turn invisible. I would recommend this book to people who like funny books and people who enjoy BBC Ghosts (Simon Farnaby plays Julian in the series).
I rated this 5 stars as it is magical and exciting. I would recommend this to someone else as it is magical.
It was funny.
Loved it
i love this book Rose and Merdyn are so hillarious
This book was amazing
This book was really good as Merdyn the wild came into Roses world from the dark age through the rivers of time.I thought it was funny. I would recommend this book.
Really funny
My favourite character was Rose, she was brave and she wouldn't give up.
I would definitely recommend it.
I really enjoyed this book. It is a very fun read and I would highly recommended this book to other children. My favourite character is Rose because she is very thoughtful, kind and smart.
I would give it 4 and a half, but the ratings won’t let me.
I found this book a bit confusing, even though I have already read it. It needs an extra chapter at the end to explain what happens to Merdyn.
I thought it was very good and funny and I would recommend it to other people.
I liked the part when he time travelled and I would recommend this book to people who like fantasy stories
