Late one night a flying house crash-lands in ten-year-old Callie’s garden. It is the home of magician Winnifred and all of her magical artefacts. Winnifred asks for Callie’s help finding her lost Wanderdust – until she realizes it is Callie’s sadness that is causing her malfunctioning magic.
With Winnifred’s most precious magical possessions at risk from malicious fairies and dangerous giants, can Callie and her friend Sam find the Wanderdust in time to save the magician?

Amazing a good story telling full of unexpected things love it
Read this after my daughter found it in a bookshop on holiday. It is wonderfully good fun, with an absorbing world. My inlaws live in Northern Ireland and now my daughter can't wait to back and visit the Mournes and find the places in the story. As also, a book with a map is a winner in my opinion however I will build on this and say books with recipes also get top marks. The Drizzleberry Pie has now been made an enjoyed at a family bbq to resounding success.
