Uncle Digit and the Truth About Magic by Jeremy Hullah was a beautifully written book from start to finish. The author has wrote from his heart. Finn is the main character within this new book. Sadly, his dad was killed in a car crash when he was four years old. This also left Finn in a wheelchair.
Now eleven years old, Finn is bullied whilst at school by the other school children, he is perceived as being an easy target! But, there was only so much Finn could take and one day he loses it "Roooooaaaaarrrrr!" especially when the children make nasty references about his mum having to take in lodgers.

Finn, has another person but this person he his hero; His Uncle Henry, aka Uncle Digit who is a globe trotting photo journalist...........and when Uncle Henry hears that he has had trouble at school, he makes a visit to see Finn at his school, he talks about his adventures of going to the Artic and many other adventures he has had. This goes down well at the school and especially with the school children who are bullying Finn.
But, deep down Finn would love to be apart his Uncle's magical adventures especially his new ones he will be having in the future.......

I found this book magical and cover of this book was beautiful. I loved it.

Jeremy Hullah is the author of The Beastly Baron of Beaux Bottom the first book.

overall I liked this book and the family vibes when reading a bout the uncle and nephews relationship in it.
I felt connected with the characters and immersed in the story while reading. Feeling like i was finn eagerly awaiting his uncles arrival and the story's he will bring with him.

I really enjoy books that are written a bout cold climates and in this book the arctic landscape was written well. I also liked the addition of the animals in this story and the magical element of being a ble to speak with them.

the fantasy world was interesting however i feel it needed more world buildin g.

i plan to get more of the books in this series once they're released as I'm looking forward to see what these two adventurers get up to nex t.

thank you so much for this free copy netgalley digit publications and Jeremy hullah o

I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this at first, but it ended up being a cozy, endearing read. The structure is quite fascinating and I love the magic of it.

The good: it’s cute, easy to understand, and very unique. So unique that it was hard to put down after the introduction of The First and The Keeper. Part 3 of the book is absolutely beautiful, and my favorite part.

On the other hand, it definitely has a slower start for how long it is. I wanted to put the book down a few times leading up to page 80-ish. It doesn’t feel like there’s any sort of “hook” per se, just the backdrop of a multigenerational story of magic and adventure and a sweet relationship between an uncle and a nephew. There’s not a lot of depth to these characters - the story definitely takes the driver’s seat here, so it was hard for me to get fully into it at first.

Again, it really is a cute story. I think plenty of people of all ages would love it. Definitely recommend!

This is a magical read that blends the art of storytelling well with the mundane magic in the life of a wheelchair-bound boy. The overall story was uplifting and despite the more obvious elements pushing the theme along, the book has a very solid foundation for more to come in its sequel!
