Wednesday Weeks and the Crown of Destiny
Wednesday Weeks is just starting to get the hang of this whole magic thing. But Gorgomoth the Unclean is on the loose again and he's out to ruin everything, for keeps.
When Gorgomoth steals the Crown of Destiny and turns Grandpa into a frog, it's up to Wednesday and Alfie - with help from Bruce and their new friend Adaline - to track him down.
But wormholes, giant pinball machines and a stolen crown are only the beginning. Throw in a floating fortress full of goblins, some misbehaving magic and a missing pair of eyebrows, and Wednesday and Alfie are going to have to take their magic - and their science - to the next level.
Book 2 in the brilliant Wednesday Weeks series, which asks the question: In a world of magic, can science save the day?

This fab book lives up to the high expectations set by the first! There's more fun, more weird, more Bruce, more science, and a theme park I would very much like to spend at least a day at. There are twists I didn't see coming that are epic. Plus, my 9-yr-old super-story-tester loved it and is now rereading it and that's always a sign of something great.

I wish we could have have seen a different baddie rather than reliving the same one
Magic and science mixture was cool as always
