Shortlisted for Breakthrough Children's Book of the Year, The Week Junior Book Awards
Shortlisted for the Brandford Boase Award 2023

Marty doesn't have much. Unlike his mum, who has billions of things: newspapers, holey shoes, rusty lawnmowers, broken picture frames – she keeps EVERYTHING! It's hard to leave the house. Marty wonders if anything will ever change.

But on Marty's birthday, Grandad, with a glint in his eye, gifts Marty a very special seed. Grandad hasn't been this excited since he invented the bum scratcher 2000 or thought he'd brewed wonder fuel from rhubarb leaves! The seed grows bigger and bigger, and launches Grandad, Marty and his best friend Gracie on an impossible, wondrous plan fuelled by love, hopes and dreams.

Praise for The Magician's Daughter by Caryl Lewis:

'This heartwarming, witty and touching story is all about hope and belief . . . An absolute delight.' – Daily Mail

Perfect for fans of Ross Welford, Jenny Pearson and Lisa Thompson.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Caryl Lewis is a multi-award-winning Welsh novelist, children’s writer, playwright and screenwriter. Her breakthrough novel Martha, Jac a Sianco is widely regarded as a modern classic of Welsh literature, is on the Welsh curriculum, and the film adaptation - with a screenplay by Lewis herself – went on to win six Welsh BAFTAS. Lewis’s other screenwriting work includes BBC/S4C thrillers Hinterland and Hidden. Lewis has won Wales Book of the Year three times and is the only writer to have won in both languages. Caryl’s work for children has twice scooped the Tir na n-Og Award, and has been shortlisted for both the Branford Boase and The Week Junior Awards. Her picture books include The Boy Who Dreamed Dragons and The Boy and the Octopus, both illustrated by Carmen Saldana, and I Love You Every Colour illustrated by Jill Calder. Lewis is a visiting lecturer in Creative Writing at Cardiff University, and lives with her family on a farm near Aberystwyth.

George Ermos is a Derby based illustrator who graduated from the university of Lincoln in 2014. Since graduating he has worked on illustrating many stories, preferring titles with historical or mysterious themes. His interest in history has led to an obsession with all things old and time-worn, from retro packaging to antique curios, the hunt for more illustrative inspiration never ends.
