The blurb:

Zagwitz: The Thingummagadgetician

Welcome to the thingummagadgetal world of Zagacious Witz, better known as Zagwitz, the thingummagadgetician. And if you think that's a mouthful, wait until you've read the rest!

Twins Lucy and William, along with their friend Zagwitz have transported themselves, to The Galaxy of Ideas within The World of Creativity. The galaxy is under threat of obliteration from the evil Eraser, who aims to wipe out The World of Creativity, with a little help (and possibly quite a lot of hindrance) from an unruly bunch of cat-pirates called Mogsters. It will be worse than a catastrophe if Eraser's wish comes true! The real meaning of everything there ever is to know will be lost and The World of Creativity will be plunged into dark, damp squidginess forever.

Thankfully Zagwitz has two eager helpers, a lot of strange friends and a brain full of crackpot inventions on his side. Fasten your seat-belt for a roller-coaster ride of action, adventure, laughs, suspense and more laughs as we strom the galaxy and blast Eraser off his evil perch!

My thoughts:

This is the first of two Zagwitz stories, suitable for junior readers. It's an adventure story set in the World of Creativity with the hero Zagwitz a potty inventor, his helpers to mention a few -Flewy, Awoo, Eggbert, Lucy & William - and a host of baddies, my favourite being the mogster pirates.

There are illustrations throughout the book which help young readers to picture the characters.

It is funny, well written and full of imagination.
