Merdyn the Wild is from the Dark Ages. He's the world's greatest Warlock (don't call him a wizard), banished to the 21st century for bad behaviour, and he's about to create a whole load of trouble for Rose, aged 12. Rose is a totally ordinary girl, on a mission to mend her broken family. Bubbles is Rose's guinea pig. He just poos a lot. When Rose bumps into Merdyn and discovers what he is, she quickly realises that he could be just what she needs. Rose agrees to help Merdyn navigate the confusing ways of the modern world (things like: the lidded bowl in the bathroom is NOT a sink, it's a TOILET, so definitely DON'T wash your face in it) if Merdyn gives her a spell to fix her family in return. Now they just need to hide him in the shed without Rose's mum noticing, track down Merdyn's magic staff and find a way to send Merdyn back through time to the Dark Ages. What could possibly go wrong...? From the writer of the Paddington 2 movie and writer and star of Horrible Histories, this hilariously silly, heartfelt adventure with a historical twist is perfect for fans of David Walliams and David Baddiel.

It was very funny.

It is very funny. I like how Merdyn uses old language e.g "thou". I also like how he hates Harry Potter and calls a phone a "smart - foam"! :)

This book was extemely funny! My favourite character is Rose because even though her family don't always listen to her she is kind to them. Definitely recommend this to people who like comedy.

This is a book about a wizard called Merdyn who gets banned from the dark ages to the twentieth century. He meets a girl who lives in Bashingford and funny things happen. One of my favourite parts was when Merdyn makes everyone float then turn invisible. I would recommend this book to people who like funny books and people who enjoy BBC Ghosts (Simon Farnaby plays Julian in the series).
