Bookroo's summary

In the sleepy town of Pigbone, Edward's life takes a magical turn when he meets Moongobble, a hapless magician whose spells often go awry. As Edward helps Moongobble, he finds joy and purpose, but danger looms when a mysterious threat aims to silence Moongobble's magic forever. Determined to protect his friend, Edward must confront the fearsome Dragon of Doom. Can he save Moongobble's magic before it's too late?

From the publisher

Edward is bored with life in the little town of Pigbone. Then Moongobble the Magician and his faithful toad, Urk, move into the cottage on the hill. Soon Edward has a job helping Moongobble. And Moongobble needs a lot of help, because it turns out he is not a very good magician. (His spells keep turning things into cheese!) Edward has never been so busy – or so happy. But then someone threatens to stop Moongobble from ever casting another spell. Edward can’t let that happen. He’ll do anything to save his friend’s magic – even face the deadly, dreaded Dragon of Doom!
