Description

Isobel played the DVD for the umpteenth time, watching again as Hannah Cockcroft sped round the track in her racing wheelchair to win gold in the Paralympic Games. She glanced across at her wheelchair, her big, heavy, awkward wheelchair, knowing that she could only dream of owning one like Hannah’s.

Unbeknown to Isobel, her classmate Lucy knows of her dream and has a plan. With her magical friend Horla, they train Pip, a Jack Russell dog, to perform amazing tricks and enter him in a talent competition, intending to use the prize money to buy Isobel the wheelchair she desperately desires. But, as they are about to perform, a feeling of guilt comes over them–they realise it isn’t right to rob another contestant of the prize they have trained so very hard for, but if they don’t, how else can they buy the wheelchair? What followed was completely out of the blue, and certainly unexpected!

Read this and other magical tales, including: The bull to the rescue, The curious case of the flying jockeys, Lazy Larry and his talking brush and The robins and the pterodactyl.
