Book description
Stuart Horten - ten years old and small for his age - moves to the
dreary town of Beeton, far away from all his friends. And then he
meets his new next-door neighbours, the unbearable Kingley triplets,
and things get even worse.
But in Beeton begins the strangest adventure of Stuart's life as he
is swept up in quest to find his great-uncle's lost workshop - a
workshop stuffed with trickery and magic. There are clues to follow
and puzzles to solve, but what starts as fun ends up as danger, and
Stuart begins to realize that he can't finish the task by himself . .
.
The first children's novel by Lissa Evans, this is a fast-moving
blend of comedy and magic.
This is Lissa's first fiction book for Random House Children's Books,
but she has written books for adults and younger children. After a brief
career in medicine, and then in stand-up comedy, Lissa became a comedy
producer, first for radio and then in television. She lives with her
family in north London.
