Synopsis

Two diminutive magicians set out to retrieve the vanished Blackpool Tower and wind up in Las Vegas with a world-famous illusionist in this hilarious and heartwarming story from the author of Millions and Noah's Gold.

Budding magicians everywhere, prepare to be dazzled and astounded by the laugh-out-loud adventure –The Wonder Brothers! Written by multi-award-winning author Frank Cottrell-Boyce, illustrated throughout by Steven Lenton.

It's . . . SHOW TIME!

Drum roll please for Nathan (that's me) and Middy (that's her). We are . . . The Wonder Brothers!

Cousins Middy and Nathan love magic, the on-stage, cape-swirling, bunny-out-of-a-hat kind. So, when the famous Blackpool Tower dramatically vanishes the night of the Big Switch-On, showman Nathan announces live on TV that they will magic it back home.

With a stick of rock, a spangly cape, and a bit of misdirection, they end up lost in Las Vegas, home to the grand master of illusion, and magic legend, Perplexion. But, with a great illusionist, comes great mystery – and , in Las Vegas, nothing is as it seems . . .
