Description
Magic, mystery and a very dangerous quest . . . The fantastically funny and fast-moving sequel to Small Change for Stuart.
About the Author
Lissa Evans still remembers writing her first joke, aged 7 (it involved a hippo). She never lost her interest in funny lines, and, following a medical degree, she changed careers to become a comedy producer for radio and TV. Her children's novels have been shortlisted for the Costa Children's Book Award, Carnegie Medal, and Branford Boase Award, and her first - Small Change for Stuart - was an international bestseller. Her books for adults include Their Finest Hour and a Half, which was longlisted for the Baileys Prize and made into a recent film (Their Finest, starring Bill Nighy), Old Baggage and V for Victory.
Reviews
A gem for budding heroes * The Times *
It delivers everything a good old-fashioned adventure should . . . A smart book for a smart young reader * Marcus Sedgwick, The Guardian *
A story fluctuating between humour and high drama . . . The first story about this likeable boy, published last year, came out to universal praise. This second one is just as good * Independent on Sunday *
A great follow up to the previous story about Stuart, once again full of action and magical adventures. A fun and exciting read! * The Bookbag *
