Merdyn the Wild is from the Dark Ages. He's the world's greatest Warlock (don't call him a wizard), banished to the 21st century for bad behaviour, and he's about to create a whole load of trouble for Rose, aged 12. Rose is a totally ordinary girl, on a mission to mend her broken family. Bubbles is Rose's guinea pig. He just poos a lot. When Rose bumps into Merdyn and discovers what he is, she quickly realises that he could be just what she needs. Rose agrees to help Merdyn navigate the confusing ways of the modern world (things like: the lidded bowl in the bathroom is NOT a sink, it's a TOILET, so definitely DON'T wash your face in it) if Merdyn gives her a spell to fix her family in return. Now they just need to hide him in the shed without Rose's mum noticing, track down Merdyn's magic staff and find a way to send Merdyn back through time to the Dark Ages. What could possibly go wrong...?

From the star of Ghosts and Horrible Histories comes a time-travelling comedy. Merdyn the Wild is the greatest wizard of the Dark Ages. Rose is his 21st-century descendent. And together they're on a time-travel adventure to rescue Rose's brother from Vandal Warriors in the year 500. Expect magic! Expect mayhem! Expect many, many guinea pig poos!

For World Book Day, discover the hilarious story of Bubbles the guinea pig, who is whisked on a magical adventure by a wizard from the Dark Ages, and spends most of the time pooing everywhere. A must-have book by the author and star of Paddington 2 and Ghosts.

Nachdem Rosies berühmter Vorfahr Merdyn der Mächtige in die Vergangenheit zurückgekehrt ist, hätte das Leben für Rosie zumindest ziemlich normal weitergehen können! Aber im Mittelalter knirscht es gewaltig – Merdyn hatte nämlich einst die Armee des Vandalenkriegers Vanheldon in Stein verwandelt. Und nun sinnt Vanheldon auf Rache! Um Merdyn eine Falle zu stellen, plant Vanheldon, Rosie in das finstere mittelalterliche Transsylvanien zu entführen. Leider misslingt sein Vorhaben, und statt Rosie landet ihr eingebildeter Bruder Kris in den Fängen des bösen Vandalen. Natürlich machen Rosie und ihr sprechendes Meerschweinchen Pupsie sich auf den Weg in die Vergangenheit, um Kris zu retten. Ob Merdyns mächtige Magie ihnen auf der gefährlichen Reise helfen wird? Es ist ein hochspannender Wettlauf mit der Zeit, in dessen Verlauf nicht nur der junge König Artus und eine seltsame Hexe eine Rolle spielen, sondern auch Pupsies Feindschaft zu einem Wolf … Irre spannend und urkomisch – das zweite Abenteuer von Merdyn dem Mächtigen und seiner Ur-Ur-Ur-undsoweiter-Enkelin Rosie.

Když Rose (úplně obyčejná holka) natrefí na Merdyna (mocného černokněžníka z temného středověku), nejdřív nevěří, že by tenhle švihle oblečený, a ještě švihleji mluvící chlapík měl být čaroděj. Netrvá ale dlouho a ona si uvědomí, že by jí Merdyn mohl být nápomocný. A tak uzavřou dohodu. Za to, že jí návštěvník z minulosti připraví kouzlo, které vyřeší všechny její problémy, ho naučí jak přežít v 21. století (tak třeba, že z té porcelánové „studánky“ s víkem, co stojí v koupelně, NIKDY nepijeme nebo že mobily nejsou nástroje černé magie), a pomůže mu najít jeho magickou hůl, aby se mohl vrátit do své doby. Co by se mohlo zvrtnout, že…?
