Genre: fantasy/humour Join Wilmot Madder, a fourteen-year-old boy, on an exciting journey to a world where his imagination is the only limitation. Wilmot leaves school early and arrives home to discover a cellar hidden under his dining room floor. Following the release of a strange, comical creature (Frank) - found hibernating inside the cellar in a tatty old suitcase - Wilmot's life is turned upside-down. With no option but to follow Frank, Wilmot plunges into a perilous, action-packed adventure to a mysterious and wondrous world: Madder's World. Driven by his vivid imagination and his desire to be reunited with a loved one, Wilmot travels faster than 'the speed of dark', faces the barren landscape of the Moon and quickly learns to sword fight a gang of swashbuckling men from the past. As the secrets of Madder's World unfold, Wilmot learns that his help is of vital importance to the future of everyone who lives there. But does Wilmot have the courage and determination to succeed? .About the Author: Samantha lives in Norfolk with her husband, four children, two dogs, several chickens and two fish.
