Small Change for Stuart
Author: Lissa Evans
Publisher: David Fickling Books
Magic and reality blend beautifully in this novel in which Stuart Horten, aged ten but small for his age, aided and abetted by triplets April, May and June, gets caught up in the mystery of what happened to his great-uncle ‘Teeny-Tiny’ Tony Horten, a magician with an amazing workshop. Word play and alternative terms and meanings play a part in this novel from the title through to the vocabulary of Stuart’s crossword-compiling dad.
