When Stuart moves house to Beeton, he is not happy or excited. In fact he is miserable, until he discovers that his Great Uncle who lived here was a great magician. Armed with just some three-penny bits, a photo book and the help of his new neighbour, Stuart must follow the clues and solve the mystery of the disappearance of his Great Uncle Tony.
I really liked this book as I found the element of magic fun. This was the only book out of the 8 that had a slight fantasy genre and I thought it was excellently placed throughout the novel. Evans has created a fun mystery which is sure to enchant all children! The plot was fantastic and the ending was great and unexpected. I couldn’t stop reading it or put it down!
The characters were very well described and you could easily picture Stuart trying to look interested as his Father lectures him! I particularly liked April and her sisters as I thought they were interesting and it was fun to guess which of the precocious triplets Stuart was talking to.
Overall I thought this book was excellent and very well written. Moving, moreish, and definitely magical!
