When medieval wizardry meets cool street magic, what could possibly go wrong . . .?
Wilfred is a young magical apprentice determined to become the best and most wise wizard that ever was. Unfortunately for him, he’s not very good. He’s got the raw talent, but he doesn’t concentrate! In fact, he’s become (rather unkindly) known as ‘Wilfred the UNwise’.
And when one of Wilf’s spells goes badly wrong, he’s suddenly in more trouble than ever before. A mix-up which sees him catapulted into the future – and more specifically, into Bel’s hometown. Bel is an aspiring magician too – she wants to be an amazing street magician like her heroes on TV. She’s even got a stage-name sorted, and unlike Wilf, she practises all the time – maybe just a little too much . . .
Wilf is delighted by her skills, and begs to learn from Bel. She’s not so sure, but agrees that they’ll have to work together to try to work out how to get Wilf back to his own time. If only Wilf would stop messing around! Can these two young magicians work together, or will Wilf be stuck here forever?
