The Backwards Thief

A fun adventure full of magic tricks and book thievery.
Lenny wants nothing more than to be a magician like his idol Magic Mirandola. And what does a real magician need? An actual proper book of spells – and his father has just the one in his antiquarian bookshop. Too bad he wants to sell it! Lenny can’t possibly let that happen, so hocus pocus, he makes the book “disappear” from the shop. However, he hasn’t accounted for cheeky Lolli, who actually believes that Lenny’s tricks are real magic and steals the book to blackmail him into turning her brother into a successful rapper. When Lolli loses the book and Lenny finds out just how valuable it is, he needs to do everything in his power – even if that means he has to steal it back!
