THE WONDER BROTHERS PB – FRANK COTTRELL-BOYCE-STEVEN LENTON

The UK Children s Laureate 2024-2026, Frank Cottrell-Boyce presents . . . The Wonder Brothers! A writer of comic genius – he has something of Roald Dahl s magic, but more heart – Sunday Telegraph Budding magicians everywhere, prepare to be dazzled and astounded by the laugh-out-loud adventure written by multi-award-winner Frank Cottrell-Boyce and illustrated throughout by Steven Lenton. It s . . . SHOW TIME! Drum roll please for Nathan (that s me) and Middy (that s her). We are . . . The Wonder Brothers! Cousins Middy and Nathan love magic, the on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind. So, when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically vanishes the night of the Big 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, and magic legend, Perplexion. But, with a great illusionist, comes great mystery – and , in Las Vegas, nothing is as it seems . . .
