Discover the power of true magic in this funny, exciting, big-hearted story by Caryl Lewis, the award-winning author of Seed and The Magician’s Daughter. Perfect for boys and girls of 8 to 12. Illustrated throughout by George Ermos.
After one hilarious, disastrous magic show too many, Abby’s dad decides it’s time to give up showbiz. Until the day Abby finds a mysterious, dusty old book of spells among her mum’s things. Mum had always been the dazzling magician, after all. As Abby practises, each new spell brings wonder and joy, not only to Abby and her dad, but also to the whole community.
Nothing lasts forever, though, and after each public performance another spell vanishes from the book. So before the magic disappears forever, Abby and Dad plan one final, spectacular, impossible show . . .

A fantastic magical story about crazy disasters!
This was a fantastic read and I loved it from beginning to end. I didn’t really have a favourite character beacause they were ALL TOO GOOD and I couldn’t decide on favourite character.
It was a wonderful read and I recommend it to children who still believes in magic and magicians I hope everyone else will enjoy it as well
It was a brilliant read and it is full of the character and there history a loved this book very much.

Another beautiful book! For lovers of fantasy and magic. Explores grief, bullying and coming together as a community.
