REVIEWED BY INDI, 9, WA (IONA PRESENTATION COLLEGE)
The Wizard in My Shed: The Misadventures of Merdyn the Wild by Simon Farnaby, illustrated by Claire Powell, Hachette Australia, ISBN 9781444954388
Alphabet Soup provided a review copy of this book.
The Wizard in my Shed is entertaining and takes you on a whimsical journey through the Dark Ages to the 21st century, meeting unique characters with different personalities. All the illustrations enhance and bring to life the story in a funny way.
In the book, Rose meets new friends and gets to know her family better, and though I love all the characters, my favourite is Bubbles (Rose’s guinea pig), and all the unexpected surprises!
I think this book is perfect for 8–10 year olds who want a hilarious and meaningful novel with a moral to read.
