Small Change for Stuart
by Lissa Evans
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).
