Overview:
Dive into a mischievous, time-twisting double bill from Simon Farnaby that pairs modern mischief with ancient magic. The Wizard In My Shed introduces Rose, who discovers the truth about Merdyn the Wild when she first encounters him in the ordinary space behind her garden—her shed. As she realises he might be exactly what her family needs, Rose agrees to help him navigate the baffling rules of the 21st century in exchange for a spell that could set her family straight. Together they must hide Merdyn from Rose’s suspicious mum, locate the wizard’s missing staff, and plot a heroic journey back to the Dark Ages. In The Warrior in My Wardrobe, a vengeful foe—Vanheldon the vandal warrior—seeks revenge and a deadly trap. When he abducts Rose’s brother Kris, Rose, Merdyn, and Bubbles the guinea pig race against time to rescue him, all while keeping history intact. Two lively, laugh-out-loud adventures in one collectible set that will spark imagination from cover to cover.
What Makes This Collection Special:
This two-book collection draws a seamless through-line between Merdyn’s world and Rose’s, offering a cohesive, binge-worthy reading experience. The books blend cheeky modern-day comedy with high-spirited fantasy, giving readers a playful look at how legends would fare in today’s world. Reoccurring characters—Rose, Merdyn, and even Bubbles the guinea pig—build a charming continuity that rewards steady readers while inviting new fans to jump in. The duo format enhances prize-worthy gifting potential and makes a standout addition to any bookshelf, library, or school reading corner. It’s perfect for independent reading or family storytelling, delivering warmth, laughter, and a dash of danger in equal measure.
Books Included in This Collection:
The Wizard In My Shed
In this debut adventure, Rose makes a surprising discovery when she meets Merdyn the Wild. Together they navigate the quirks of the modern world, from bathroom “tools” to quirky daily routines, while hunting for Merdyn’s staff and a spell that could guide him back through time. The tone stays brisk and humorous, with a hint of wonder as magical mischief collides with ordinary life. Expect witty exchanges, imaginative world-building, and a cheeky nod to history as the duo plot a way to send a hero back where he belongs—without causing too much chaos along the way.
The Warrior in My Wardrobe
When Vanheldon the vandal warrior vows revenge, Rose and Merdyn must face a dangerous trap that threatens to pull them into Dark Ages Transylvania. The plan goes awry when Rose’s teenage brother Kris is kidnapped instead of Merdyn, forcing the trio to mount a daring rescue. Bubbles the guinea pig adds a light-hearted counterpoint to the tension, and the trio’s teamwork pits clever magic against a carefully laid historical snare. It’s a brisk, action-packed ride that blends danger with humour, making this second volume a satisfying continuation of the adventures and a perfect companion to the first.
