Friday Night's Dream: Wyckerton by Nick Newberry
Wyckerton, like many cities, is a wonderful place to live, but if you are a resident you will also be magic. Blissfully unaware non-magics come and go during the day hours, but an ancient charm on the city ensures that only witches and wizards are able to stay after six o'clock. After Alfie - a young, wiry boy with an eye for detail - discovers he is magic and moves into his friend's bed and breakfast within the city, he gets whisked up into normal days and magic nights and soon prefers spells to spelling, travelling via broom to geographical maps and wizard history to world history. Yet the art of potion making certainly comes in handy for chemistry. To develop his skills, he helps out a friendly shopkeeper in exchange for a little magical guidance. But do not be fooled into thinking Wyckerton is perfect; dark wizards live there too, as Alfie knows only too well. Along the route of his potion deliveries, Alfie discovers a sinister plot that may bring dark magic too close for comfort and has to use his skills as a wizard and a detective to keep his friends safe. Will he succeed before the inevitable happens?Friday Night's Dream: Wyckerton is a magical work of children's fiction that will appeal to children aged from eight to twelve.

Nick Newberry used to sit up into the early hours with her father making up stories, and has continued this tradition with her son. When he approached her with this awesome idea, inspired by an old wives' tale told to him by his grandmother, they spent two years planning before Nick sat down to write. At last it's turned into the children's novel Friday Night's Dream: Wyckerton.
