An original, inspiring, and gripping novel about a real-life Harry Potter, written by a real-life magician! Suitable for older children and young teens (and adults!).
Ingrid Fartz and her eleven-year-old son, Eric, fled their hometown of Sheffield to start a new life in Ramsgate, Kent, to escape from Eric's Father. Eric was a quiet and painfully shy boy lacking in confidence, who was bullied by two horrible boys at his new school. He didn't have any friends either and was feeling pretty low - until one day. A chance meeting with an old magician at a magic shop stall at the local Christmas Fair convinced him to take up magic, which changed his life!
Throughout the story, Eric learns and performs amazing magic tricks, which are also taught at the back of the book! The story culminates in Eric entering 'St. Bartholomew's Got Talent', but will he get the chance to take part? This is an entertaining and thought-provoking story about Eric's struggle at 'Big School', filled with inspiration and advice, not only about performing magic but also on how to become more self-confident and a high achiever!
Although it is a fictional story it could just as easily have been written about many young people in the real world today, struggling with confidence issues. Maybe that is you? If it is, then this book will definitely be very helpful to you as well as being an interesting and enjoyable read, plus you will learn some really cool magic tricks too! It is a modern-day fairytale about triumph over adversity, written by a professional magician with young people in mind!
