Television and radio presenter and magician Stephen, is the host ofBritain’s Got More Talent, Catchphrase and In For a Penny. This is probably tailored more to school children but regardless me and my little sister loved this book! A real strength of the story is that a child is encouraged to believe that problems can be overcome, particularly when you have the support of a loving family and good friends .

Max's character was fun to learn about, and seeing him carry on the family tradition of being a magician. And it’s not just a fabulous fact book about sharks, but a deeper dive into how they live, work together and protect their young. Join Indiana and Aisha in this deep sea pageturner that sees our heroes pitted against a slithery serpent with dastardly plans. I liked how Max had to learn how to use his new powers without turning into a bully himself, and of course the good guys win in the end (spoiler alert!

It is a wonderful tale that they have created and I am sure there will be more in this series to come.

Inspired by Stephen Mulhern's incredible story of his journey to becoming a magician, performer and TV star. Max Mullers (no need to ask where the name comes from) is a boy who loves magic and wants to be the greatest magician in the world! With a celebrity author, you can never be quite sure what you're getting - and Stephen's co-author, Tom Easton, is best known for a YA dystopian that killed everyone in the world apart from 78 people. I love the fact the book is part-autobiographical and based on Stephen, his childhood, and his family.The characters were loveable other than the obvious selection and they were written so well that readers will also dislike them and root for Max and his friends throughout the book. With my most favourite author of this age being Sam Copeland (who fills his books with humour and twists and turns and brilliant action packed illustrations), I felt that this showed how lacking this book is in every area!
