Synopsis

A rusty key opens a dusty box hidden in Alfie's grandad's shed. Inside is an old, old book - with magical powers. The book promises Alfie a gift, but first he must take the crystal flower across Sleepy Meadows full of Snapping Dragons to the crooked tree that is guarded by Giant Hogweeds. If Alfie succeeds, he will be able to do something he has never done before! This is the first book in the "Alfie Green" series: now in paperback.

'This is a tense and exciting story that will capture the imagination . . . I loved Alfie and the Magical Gift. It was excellent. I think Alfie was very brave to go on the journey by himself. This was the best book I have ever read in my life. It was a great story and was very exciting. Hannah Meaney, 7'
