Jasper Fforde's first work for a younger generation of readers: hilarious, offbeat and bewitching, this is the start of a Dragonslayer trilogy.

 In the good old days, magic was powerful, unregulated by government, and even the largest spell could be woven without filling in magic release form B1-7g.

Then the magic started fading away.

Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Strange runs Kazam!, an employment agency for soothsayers and sorcerers. But work is drying up. Drain cleaner is cheaper than a spell, and even magic carpets are reduced to pizza delivery.

So it's a surprise when the visions start. Not only do they predict the death of the Last Dragon at the hands of a dragonslayer, they also point to Jennifer, and say something is coming. Big Magic . . .

Industry Reviews

Action packed...an enjoyable story. - The Herald Sun

It s comic invention and warm characterisation, within a reworking of fantasy standards, will ensure its appeal across all age groups, in the same way as Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching books reach a wide readership... It will be an essential Christmas gift for his fans, with many new readers likely to be "slain" by this delightfully engaging novel. - The Canberra Times

This is a book for the adventure lover, with an evil conglomerate and action mixed in equal measure with believable fantasy. There is also, happily, lots of word play. - Courier Mail

He delivers a treat of a magical story with a twist, plus good messages for young minds. - West Australian

'True literary comic genius' - Sunday Express

'This is Fforde's first book for children and as ever he is terrifically inventive and this is full of fun' - Daily Telegraph

'Jasper Fforde has one of those effervescent imaginations that never throws in one joke when he can fit in two or three . . . he created his mad but logical parallel version of the Welsh marches with loving detail' - Independent
