A great new fiction character from BBC star presenter Dominic Wood
Dominic is an ordinary boy with an appetite for magic and a rather extraordinary sidekick- his magical top hat, the Topper. The two of them live happily, but when Great Aunt Rowena comes to stay things begin to go awry. Rowena has plans of her own for the Topper, and she's not going to give in without a fight. This begins a new strand of publishing for Dominic Wood, master magician and TV star. Dominic is an endearing character and his adventures with the Topper are bound to delight young readers. And there's even a magic trick to learn at the end of the book - to keep those young magicians happy.
Still a shockingly young man, Dominic has already enjoyed enviable success in both television and as a magician. His TV credits include presenting CBBC's live comedy series, Friday Zone, and the highly acclaimed Broom Cupboard as well as Animal Magic and, with his partner, Dick, the hugely popular Saturday morning show, Dick & Dom, in da Bungalow.
Dominic is also a talented magician whose prestigious achievements include: a Strait Jacket Escape on Houdini's Birthday in 1999; British Magical Champion 1998; World Record for Card Tricks 1998; IBM shield for Sleight of Hand 1996; Young Magician of the Year 1995; and Junior Reading Day Champion 1994.
