Whizzagazoom!

Children's adventure story: a young family in trouble is magically helped by a snuffalump. When everything goes horribly wrong, it's the children who must do the rescuing.

The story begins when Jamie and Grace's Mum has a scary accident and ends up in hospital. Their Gran can't help them, but she knows who can, even if they disappeared suddenly many years ago. Enter William the Snuffalump, with magic powers, red hot ears, an enormous bottom and the sweetest smile.

There is nothing William can't magic. Jamie and Grace can't believe their luck, and their snot-faced baby sister loves him too. Everything that's been going wrong starts going right, and it's the most unbelievable fun they've ever had.

First, William 'whizzagazooms' their whole house, including the loft and their Dad's disgusting shed. Then their secret wishes start coming true. And William doesn't stop there. Snuffalumps are born to help, so when he hears that their local library is threatened, Jamie and Grace appear with him on the BBC News, with the most brilliant idea. Every child in the village is immediately hooked and even their grumpy Dad is impressed.

In one frightening moment everything changes and William nearly drowns them all. Why is William so terrified? What went so incredibly wrong all those years ago? Jamie and grace go hunting for answers, desperate to save their beloved snuffalumps - especially William!!

Hold onto your hands, and your heart! (And it might be a good idea to protect yourself with a wee magic tattoo - of a snuffalump hand complete with a perfect paddle thumb).
