The Wizard In My Shed - The Misadventures of Merdyn the Wild (Paperback)

,
Merdyn the Wild is from the Dark Ages. He's the world's greatest Warlock (don't call him a wizard), banished to the 21st century for bad behaviour, and he's about to create a whole load of trouble for Rose, aged 12.

Rose is a totally ordinary girl, on a mission to mend her broken family.

Bubbles is Rose's guinea pig. He just poos a lot.

When Rose bumps into Merdyn and discovers what he is, she quickly realises that he could be just what she needs. Rose agrees to help Merdyn navigate the confusing ways of the modern world (things like: the lidded bowl in the bathroom is NOT a sink, it's a TOILET, so definitely DON'T wash your face in it) if Merdyn gives her a spell to fix her family in return.

Now they just need to hide him in the shed without Rose's mum noticing, track down Merdyn's magic staff and find a way to send Merdyn back through time to the Dark Ages. What could possibly go wrong...?

From the writer of the Paddington 2 movie and writer and star of Horrible Histories, this hilariously silly, heartfelt adventure with a historical twist is perfect for fans of David Walliams and David Baddiel.

This is laugh out loud funny! The absolute star of the book for our children is the guinea pig and the fact that it poops a lot! As a debut children’s book it is brilliant and I really hope that there are more to come as it is both funny and heart warming! Some of the language can be a little challenging for children to begin with (Merdyn uses a lot of old English) but they soon got the hang of it and it offered lots of opportunity to discuss what some of the older words meant. Although I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, it is worth saying that this cover is really cool with purple metallic print and modern illustrations that our children loved. The book is littered with illustrations that really bring it to life. I would highly recommend and can’t wait to see if there is another one!
