Tom Gunn loves reading fantasy books and having adventures on his family\u2019s land in the hills. But when his sister becomes mysteriously sick and their parents decide to move down to the city, Tom feels like his life has had all the adventure sucked out of it.<\/p>\n

Then one day Tom runs into their gruff old neighbour Mr Randolph, who tells him about a hidden magical world, and a magician who can cure his sister. But Tom arrives to find the world all but empty, and the magician long gone. Now it\u2019s up to Tom to put things right, to bring back the magic and adventure and somehow save his sister!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This book is an account of my journey: how I cut through all the doubt and confusion surrounding weight loss and diet, got to the very heart of the problem, and then solved it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
