Walter Brown and the Magician's Hat

A boy, a magic top hat and a talking cat spell magical mayhem for ages 7-10! Another magical page-turner from the UK/US bestselling author of The Secret Lake.

When Walter Brown is woken on his 10th birthday by his cat Sixpence he has no idea that his life is about to change forever. A large present wrapped in silver paper reveals an old top hat, a tiny pair of white gloves and a magician's wand - together with a mysterious note from his late Great-grandpa Horace.

But Walter gets the biggest surprise when he puts the top hat on and discovers that his cat has special powers and they've been chosen for a secret mission.

What better place to start practising magic, they decide, than on Walter's super-cool new neighbours, twins Harry and George Braithwaite?

But magical mayhem follows when Walter accidentally sets free monsters from their new video game and finds himself locked in battle with a Fire Fiend that's threatening to burn his house down...

Will Walter be able to master his new-found powers to defeat the escaped video monster? And will he succeed in hiding his magical secret from those around him?
