An original, inspiring, and gripping novel about a real-life Harry Potter, written by a real-life magician! The perfect Christmas Gift, as the story is set at Christmas time! 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...
