- Secrets and illusions abound as a group of young magicians competes for the prize of a lifetime in this gripping adventure, the first in an enthralling series. Readers will love trying to work out how the tricks are done alongside the protagonists, but can they uncover the truth about the Great Fox in time? Short chapters and accessible writing makes this book ideal for all types of readers. Perfect for fans of Max Magic, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Escape Room. Thirteen-year-old Flick Lions has won a place on a new television show, in which young people compete to win the legacy of the Great Fox, one of the world's most famous magicians. But Flick isn't interested in uncovering the Great Fox's tired old magic tricks - she's after something much more important. The magician destroyed her family, and this is Flick's only chance to put things right. Inside the Fox's house is a secret that will change the world of magic for ever, and Flick will go to any lengths to find it. "A delightfully tricky tale of magic and misdirection. A page-turner that's also great fun to read." M. G. Leonard, author of Beetle Boy "A glittering tale of magic and mystery, trust and tricks, friendship and family. Let Justyn Edwards take you behind the scenes of a world of magic and illusion, on a mind-bending adventure to find the truth." Thomas Taylor, author of Malamander
- About The Author
- Justyn Edwards graduated from Southampton University with a degree in archaeology. Since then he has worked as a caravan park attendant, a paperboy and a software engineer, but never as an archaeologist. He has always wanted to be a writer, and his inspiration for The Great Fox series came from watching magic shows. He realized that what elevates the trick a magician performs is the story they tell their audience. And in turn, stories themselves are a kind of magic trick with the author choosing when to reveal their secrets to the reader. And so his debut novel was born. Justyn lives in Cornwall with his wife and two cats.
