'A writer of comic genius - he has something of Roald Dahl's magic, but more heart' - Sunday TelegraphNo matter how big the show, family, friendship and adventure shine through in The Wonder Brothers by multi-award-winning author Frank Cottrell-Boyce, illustrated throughout by Steven Lenton.‘Maybe you don’t believe me. Maybe you don’t believe in magic. I bet you will by the time you’ve heard what happened to us.’Cousins Middy and Nathan love magic. The on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind.For Middy, it’s all about patience and practice. She uses magic skills to help her out of tricky situations.Nathan is a show-off and a total danger magnet, he is drawn to the sensation, spectacle and audience.So when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically vanishes the night of the Grand Lights Switch-On, showman Nathan announces live on TV that they will magic it back home.With a stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion, Perplexion, ‘Legend of Magic’.Praise for Noah's Gold:'Sparkly, witty, enticing storytelling . . . It's perfect' Hilary McKay
