The Amazing Q

Written by Peter Cashwell
 
A tale of talking birds, magic tricks, peppermint sticks, and an awful lot of camouflage paint, perfect for fans of Roald Dahl and Judd Winick.
 
School isn't easy when you're the son of the world's greatest stage magician, but Nathan has always managed to get along-until now. Not only is he having dodgeball problems, he's got to sing in front of the whole school AND learn to drive a tractor. And when his father disappears during his latest world tour, it's up to Nathan to track him down. Can he get through to the Bureau of Missing Persons? Can he escape the strange figures who keep appearing outside his window? And can he persuade a group of birds to help him get to the faraway land where his father is captive? He'd better hope so-because Nathan will have to come up with an incredible trick of his own to rescue The Amazing Q!
 
Featuring fantastical illustrations by Marika Bailey, THE AMAZING Q is filled with humor, misdirection, and a cast of characters you'll never forget.
