Small change for Stuart

By Lissa Evans.

When 10 year old Stuart moves to a completely new historical town called Beeton, he finds out that there is a reason for him being there. As the book moves, he finds out all about his family history and his mysterious Uncle Tony who was a magician, who one day disappeared with no reason or explanation. It is up to Stuart and his new neighbour to find Uncle Tony with only a letter and some coins, from this point onwards, it seams like Stuart will have a mystery to solve.

This is a very typical children book, what with the way in witch the hero has clues and has to solve the mystery, and the continual twisting and ever more thickening plot, but that is what makes it so wonderful!

Stuart is a very obscure character and even towards the end of the novel you know very little about him. However, throughout the book, you are given clues not only about finding Uncle Tony but also about Stuarts personality and character. I think this adds depth to the book and makes it even more beautiful.

Over all a fantastic action packed book with great characters that I thoroughly enjoyed!
