Product description
A raucously funny middle grade adventure for fans of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman… Twig is the last surviving apprentice of the great wizard Ripplemintz, which, as a job, is just as terrifying as it sounds. Oh Ripplemintz always means well, but for a wizard of such high regard he really does make an awful lot of mistakes. And who’s always left to clear them up? That’s right – Twig. So when Ripplemitz’s most powerful spell is let loose on the world, off Twig goes to catch it. And catch it he does, except… not quite in the way that he intended. Because, instead of catching it in an enchanted jar, Twig sort of… well… catches it in… HIMSELF .
Our October 2020 Ages 7-8 Book of the Month
For kids aged 7 and over, our October Book of the Month pick is The Accidental Wizard. We have chosen it because it is perfect for magical bedtime reading, either independently or as read aloud for you and your child, especially on the lead up to Halloween! The full-length novel is perfect for confident readers, whilst illustrations throughout make it still accessible to those of all abilities. Brilliantly funny, with bags and bags of heart, The Accidental Wizard is destined to leave you completely spellbound!
In it you’ll meet Twig Thicket, a lowly apprentice to the great wizard Ripplemintz, who is just as clumsy and forgetful as he is great. When he lets loose the most powerful spell in the world, Twig accidentally catches it becoming the greatest wizard in all the Kingdoms… and soon discovers that isn’t as wonderful a thing as you might think.
From award-winning author Kimberly Pauley, this magical, hilarious adventure is ideal for fans of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. Wonderful illustrations throughout from Jason Cockcroft.
