Tyler isn't thrilled to be spending yet another mundane afternoon at Great Uncle John's. And that's putting it mildly! But after his visit sparks a chain of inexplicable events, he delightedly discovers magic at his fingertips.
Being able to conjure up a swimming pool and a wodge of cash are certainly perks. Yet the magic proves tricky to control. What's more, it seems to be irreversible.
Unable to properly harness his new-found powers, Tyler ends up getting those around him into all manner of mischief and mayhem. And when things begin to go catastrophically wrong, he fears magic is a curse, rather than a blessing. Will normality ever be restored, or will Tyler be forced to adapt to his new, altered reality forever? It all depends on whether he's able to find Lottie's loophole...

After Tyler finds his old gear in the attic, he seems to be able to make his wishes come true, but how is he doing it? And how can he reverse the bits he didn't mean to do?
The story canters along at a cracking pace, and the unique layout and interjections of the narrator - as well as adding another opportunity for jokes - mean that this should hook the most reluctant of readers, particularly boys.... Read Full Review
