Mr. Wiz and The Dragon by Alex Stears tells the story of Mr. Wiz, a wizard who lives in the land of Moo, nestled within Windy Wood. Mr. Wiz is an unconventional and caring wizard. However, he is not particularly skilled, as his spells often go awry. Mr. Wiz's spellcasting takes an unexpected turn when a yellow dragon arrives at his home. Mustard, the dragon, asks Mr. Wiz to transform him into the biggest dragon in the world. Mr. Wiz warns Mustard that he will give it a try while also warning him that his spells do not always turn out as intended. As usual, the spells do not go quite right. What started as chaos eventually turns into an unexpected bond between Mr. Wiz and Mustard.
Mr. Wiz and The Dragon by Alex Stears is a magical and touching tale. It is packed with humor, bravery, and creativity. The pace was quick enough to keep my interest from the beginning. The vivid descriptions captivated me from the first page, allowing my imagination to roam free. The writing style was compelling and made it easy to picture the unfolding events. Themes of friendship and personal development were woven throughout the story. The characters stood out with their uniqueness. Mr. Wiz was charming and relatable, while Mustard's character added a fun element. Mr. Wiz and Mustard discovered important lessons about courage, acceptance, and self-belief. The illustrations were extraordinary and complemented the story perfectly. The story was beautifully written and reminded me that magic can be discovered in the most unlikely friendships.
