I recommend The Magician in the Attic by Caspian

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Some of you know that I have been involved in the publishing of this book, and I haven't posted it up to now because it felt a bit like spamming. But now Will had read it and liked it I feel I can post it. Caspian himself hasn't had time to set up a new release thread due to doing three jobs simultaneously, so I am his contact until he has more than 5 minutes to spare...

The book itself... Its YA/children's but can also be enjoyed by adults. The main character is Alex, a 14 year-old who loves stage magic and wants to learn to be a magician himself. He has come to the notice of a mysterious man who offers to be his teacher, and this leads him into all sorts of mysterious adventures...

Its available on Kindle at the link above, and if you want a signed paperback you can ask me and I'll pass the request on to the man himself.

I've took note of it already, GL, and had a read of the look inside. It's on my TBR list.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Yay David - tell us what you think when you eventually get round to it.

[David]

Will do, but it may be a while away.

This looks like a nice bit of escapism. Bought it!
Good luck with the release Caspian.

[Andrew]

I downloaded a copy of this too, I'm looking forward to reading it relatively soon (I hope).

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

I hope you all enjoy it once you do read it :-)

[Will]

I've read it.

Recommended, it's great!

[Philip (sarah)]

I'm currently 25% in and agree wholeheartedly:@)

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Yay! Hope you enjoy the rest of it :)

[Philip (sarah)]

How rude of me, I should have returned to say I finished reading the book and thought it was terrific, can't wait to read more of his work. Thanks very much for the recommendation GL.

BTW I recently read As If By Magic it was in a similar vein but not nearly as good.

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Thanks Sarah thats great :-) Im sure he will be thrilled.

[Andrew]

I know I've got a nerve posting this, given my own production rate, but where's the sequel? Eh?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

It is in progress. Honest!

I'll be seeing him this afternoon and I'll poke him with the pointy stick.

[Will]

Better make it a cattle prod.

[Andrew]

Hurrah! Do say hi from me, GL, twas a most excellent evening's drinkage!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

It was, wasn't it :-)

I am hoping to ask him for a favour, so I better not prod too hard.

[Will]

I'm being so restrained right now.

You realise that my restrain over a rude retort has cost a character her life?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

She died in a good cause.

[Will]

She doesn't think so: she's turned Undead!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Uh-oh. I have a bad feeling about this. You haven't put me in this book, have you?
