Jody Richards and The Secret Potion

When her brother is kidnapped by an evil wizard, 10-year-old Jody Richards sets out to look for him. Her quest carries her to a dreamland named Tamila chock-full of wizards, witches and whirlpools, where drama and danger abound. Readers pining for more magic post-Harry Potter need look no further: Tony Flood has conjured up all the goblins, pixies and poisonous spiders you could want, and quite possibly the world's worst monster.
