Bad Magic

By: Pseudonymous Bosch

Series : The Bad Books

Age 10+

RRP  £6.99

This book is incredibly BAD. It does not contain MAGIC. Or a mysterious ghost girl. Or spontaneous combustion. Or Spanish-speaking llamas.

Nope. None of these things.

Okay... maybe one of these things. But certainly not MAGIC.

It’s just an ordinary tale of a normal boy who goes to summer camp on a desert island. Nothing exciting or weird happens. The camp is definitely NOT for crazy, badly-behaved kids, and there are NO SECRETS or MYSTERIES at all.

And absolutely NO MAGIC whatsoever...

Author
Pseudonymous Bosch
Pseudonymous Bosch is a pseudonym, or as he would prefer to call it (because he is very pretentious), a nom de plume. Unfortunately, for reasons he cannot disclose, but which should be obvious to anyone foolhardy enough to read this book, he cannot tell you his real name. But he admits he has a deep-seated fear of mayonnaise. Fortunately, this has not proved an impediment to The Secret Series selling over two million copies worldwide.

Press
An unputdownable read with a very clever mix of suspense and humour.

Primary Times

‘Bad Magic’ is a brilliant book.

Lucy Minton, age 11, for lovereading4kids.co.uk

‘Bad Magic’ is a very gripping book and if you liked his ‘Secret
Series’ you would like this too. It is filled with jokes and odd
language I would recommend it to anyone who likes the ‘Harry
Potter’ Series.

Fiona Sutherland, age 11, for lovereading4kids.co.uk

An adventurous page-turner of a book... I would mark this book a
definite 10 because I couldn’t put it down once I started it. It was chilling one moment and exciting the next.

Charlotte Cassidy, age 9, for lovereading4kids.co.uk

Bad Magic is a fun, page-turning, magical mystery that is sure to thrill and engage young readers.
