Wilfred The (un)wise

📖 The Scoop

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 never practises! And his habit of not listening tends to get him into trouble too, leading him to be dubbed 'More like Wilfred the UNwise!' And when one of Wilf's experiments goes badly wrong, he's in more trouble than ever before. A mix-up with one of Wincewart's scrying glasses sees him catapulted into the future - and more specifically into Bel's dad's magic shop. Bel is an aspiring magician too - she wants to be just like her hero Dynamo. 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?
