Che cos'è la MAGYA? essere un mago ordinario e vivere felice e disordinato con moglie e sette figli in un'unica stanza dietro la porta rossa, in via Su e Giù, nella Babilonia; o essere una principessa, ma non saperlo; o essere una Strega Bianca, un'anziana signora amabile e un po' stramba, che non sa cucinare, si veste in modo orribile, non fa male a una mosca ma custodisce un grande segreto... Angie Sage racconta in questo romanzo, il primo dopo una lunga serie di libri illustrati, l'avventura di tre ragazzi nella torre dei maghi, nei tubi delle discariche, nelle foreste stregate...
