The Story of Magic Uncle tells the tale of an ordinary doctor who, after having been hit by a magical fireball, starts to develop magical powers. He uses these powers along with his magic pen and car to save children who have been trapped by a wicked king. His powers help him to battle fire-breathing dragons, huge bears and the evil king so that all the children can be returned safely back to their homes.
“I wanted to write a book that doesn’t dwell on the toilet humour and zombies that have become so commonplace today,” explains the author. “I wanted it to be about a normal man who can do extraordinary things and take children along for the ride. Being a medical doctor requires a lot of theory and analysis, so, as you can see, I like to let my hair down with a little boundless creativity!”
Continuing, “I’m a big believer that a healthy body all starts with a healthy mind, and another purpose of the book is to stimulate young readers and give them the freedom to imagine. That persistent challenge, in itself, can have amazing positive effects on their physical health. We must stretch the boundaries of their world and prove that anything is possible. In fact, this is an incredibly personal project for me, as the book was inspired by my crazy nephews who always drive me up the wall! I wanted to create something that would captivate them – and it appears to be working.”
