Oliver Moon wants to have the best birthday bash ever, but some of his guests have other ideas. All of the not-so-nice wizards and witches from school have turned up and these party poopers are making real trouble. Luckily, there's birthday magic in the air, and hidden surprises in store from a very special guest...

Look out for more magical mayhem with Oliver Moon, Junior Wizard!

Packed full of gruesome detail and great fun this is the latest exciting instalment in the Oliver Moon series. With an unforgettable combination of magic, family and friends this latest adventure in the Oliver Moon series brings fun and laughter along with stomach churning gruesome party food! With its easy and straightforward text and creative line illustration the world of Oliver Moon, his friends and family, including the fabulous Witch Baby, is bought to life for the reader.

There is a subtle message running through this story all about friendship and understanding. Whilst magic can put wrongs right, there are some things that have to be faced up to, our enemies, or rather those people that we don't always get along with are often treated to their just rewards, as befits their behaviour. In the same way Oliver is treated for being a good and understanding host, despite a few misunderstandings!

This book is a great light-hearted and fun read, perfect for those children who are too young for Harry Potter but who want to immerse themselves in the world of magic and wizardry. At the same time the subtle messages teach important lessons and the illustrations make it ideally suited for children from age 5-8 to enjoy reading.
