An Intro to Book 3 of the Magic Islands Series
'The Land Of Now And Then' is book 3 in the 'Magic Islands' series.
Step into the wonderful world of the 'Magic Islands' for the third time, as the magical, mystical, educational series continues...
Still, too much of a handful, even when captive, the naughty Purple Wizards are once again exiled for their environmental crimes - this time to a mythical land which shouldn't exist, a land of extinct animals and ancient fictional beasts. A land where time has suddenly stood still, caused by the same lunar eclipse which brought them there...
Wizard Ambrosius needs help to start time up again – or half the Land of Now and Then will be in perpetual darkness, the other half perpetual light and nothing will grow or thrive. He again needs the help of a particular group of schoolchildren, from a particular school in White Stone Town, Wales…
So, Stefan and Megan, this time with their friend Trevor, are called on once more to save the Magic Islands from climate catastrophe, by helping to find a missing magical Box of Secrets and its Golden Key. Their investigation will introduce them to a host of long-extinct animals of Planet Earth: a Gigantopithecus, a Dodo, a Parasaurolophus, and the inhabitants – both terrifying and friendly – of fearsome Dinosaur Country. Join them as both they and the Purple Wizards learn all about these real and legendary creatures, finding friendship and purpose along the way – and perhaps saving the Land of Now and Then from its inevitable end…

Wish
Book 1
The magic happens, and in the first book the ‘Magic Islands,’ a magical wish on a Conch Shell, found amidst rubbish on a beach in Wales, by children searching for beach items on a school field trip creates the mystic beginning of the story.
Two of the children, namely Stefan and Megan are whisked into the air and are taken to a group of invisible magical islands where they become marooned and at times endangered.
They meet many unusual magical characters, such as witches, wizards, dragons and elves, and are told of ancient legends. The children need to find a way to return to their school class but instead are faced with the mischiefs of the wicked Purple Wizards.

Chaos in the Cosmos
Book 2
When the Wizard of the Magic Forest, Ambrosious, performs his magic spell he evicts the Purple Wizards from the Magic Islands, and they are sent upwards into the skies on a magical flight to be returned to the Red Wizards Vortex, but a sudden impact with a Space Ship takes them on an entirely different path as they head towards Mars. When their need to escape Mars becomes a threat, they develop new powers and journey on a magical mystery tour, leading them to a venture whereby their mischief causes Global warming.
Ambrosius waves his wand and destroys the curse of the Magic Islands, once performed by the Hook-Eyed Monsters. The adorable naughty Scratchit, a baby Hook-Eyed Monster, swims away from the Magic Islands and is lost as he discovers Stefan’s garden. But Scratchit’s naughty tricks cause havoc when Stefan and Megan disappear again on a school trip to Merlin’s Cave and Castle in Cornwall.
This time the children are asked to help with a rapid and sudden Global Warming crisis.
