Book review: The Wonder Brothers

The cover of The Wonder Brothers by Frank Cottrell-Boyce and illustrated by Steven Lenton.

The Wonder Brothers is a book about three kids named Brodie, Nathan and Middy and Brodie’s unusual rabbit, Queenie, who decide to go to see the famous magician called Perplexion at his last show.

They climbed on a truck because they thought they were going to meet Perplexion at the airport on his way to Las Vegas for his final show. They end up stuck in Las Vegas, find out something mysterious about Perplexion and then have to find their way back to Blackpool.

I like this book because it is about kids, travelling, magic and it is very funny. I like the bit where they arrive in Las Vegas and don’t know where they are. They think they are in Paris and then they think they’re in Egypt because they see an Eiffel Tower and some pyramids. That is one of the funniest parts of the book. 

I recommend this book for 8-15 year olds, I think they would really like it.  I rate this book 9 out of 10. I didn’t rate it 10 out of 10 because I wish there more great books in the series so I can read more about the Wonder Brothers.
