Stuart's mother is a scientist, his father a crossword compiler (he always uses very long words when a short one would be more understandable). More importantly, his great uncle Tony used to be a magician -that is, until he mysteriously disappeared 50 years ago. Stuart finds a secret message from his great-uncle implying there is a warehouse full of his magic implements hidden somewhere. Stuart and also Alice, one of the annoying neighbouring triplets, try to solve the puzzle of the missing uncle and his warehouse.A fab story for 8+. The follow up is called Big Change for Stuart. If you like this, also read The Name of this Book is Secret by Pseudonymous Bosch (reviewed below).
