Otis Ottley lives in the shadow of the Manor School for Magic. Literally. It’s an island hovering over his town, and he’s determined to reach it.

While many kids dream of roaming the prestigious institution’s halls, casting spells and conjuring spectacles, Otis has a very specific mission: to seek magical help remembering something very, very important.

The odds are stacked against him, but Otis will break into magic school. Or at the very least, he will break a few rules trying.

A wonderful middle-grade novel, brimming with magic, from a much-loved Prime Minister’s Literary Award-winning author.

‘Hilarious and heartwarming . . . Otis and his friends and family are an absolute delight.’ – JACLYN MORIARTY

Perfect for:
– Readers aged 9+ seeking an entertaining read with a touch of magic
