About This Book

What if a not-so-great magician moves into your town, and his spells keep turning everything into cheese? Edward is about to find out how wild and wacky magic can be when he teams up with Moongobble and his toad, Urk. But when a scary Dragon of Doom threatens their fun, Edward must step up to save the day!
