Review
When Stuart moves to a new town at the beginning of the summer holidays, he expects to be bored. Very soon he is drawn into a wonderfully intriguing adventure when he discovers his long missing great uncle Tony was an inventor and magician, and has left him the content of his workshop, should he ever find it. This is Lissa Evan's second book for children, and has been shortlisted for the Costa children's book award. With help on the long words - perambulation caught out my son - it will delight eight-year-olds and above.

(written by Dora - my 9 year old daughter)
I really loved this story because it is an unusual type of book, packed with adventure and mystery.
The main character, Stuart Horten, finds himself on a wonderfully magic trail because of his long lost Great Uncle, Teeny Tiny Tony Horten.
When Stuart moves into a new town with his Mum & Dad everything seems really boring until his new neighbours, 3 identical triplets, start chasing him round the town. This book is full of suspense, wonder and intrigue, but is also VERY FUNNY.
I would really recommend this book

On recommendation from a girl in my Year 5 class, we have been reading this book as our whole class story. It has been a while since I have come across a new book that I have enjoyed as much as (if not more than) the children.
The characterization in the story is brilliant and we have enjoyed some lively discussions about all of the characters. I particularly liked Stuart's father, who speaks as if he has swallowed a dictionary much to Stuart's frustration; and the annoying triplets who live next to Stuart and simply cannot mind their own business!
The story moves at quite a fast pace so that there is never a dull moment. It has really engaged the children.
This will definitely be on my list of books to read to the my next class in September!

For me, a book for the younger reader has to do a number of things, first of all it has to not only entertain but it also has to have a journey as well as allow the reader to not only discover something about the characters involved but find a little piece of them within themselves. What Lissa manages to do in this title is bring a whole host of interesting characters to the fore with a lead that who, whilst he isn't the biggest or the strongest, has the smarts to help solve the myriad of clues left by his great uncle and turns what would be a mundane and humdrum summer into something spectacular.
All in, the title is well written, has great prose and some wonderful puzzles that will occupy as well as entertain the reader. Add to this the fact that its unpredictable and the reader really does have a treat in store. One of my top fiction titles for the year to date, and as such a title that really must be enjoyed.
