3.8
More about Paddington
by Michael Bond
In True Magic Families, a single member of each generation was born with the magician's touch. Real magic. It was a genetic quirk that no one could explain. Either you had it or you didn't.
But Lulu could never be the one in her generation gifted with magic, because Lulu was adopted. Nonetheless, Uncle Jerry the Great lets her have her chance to join him for the summer as his assistant, just like all of the other cousins. All she needed to do was warm up the crowd with a few simple tricks, but Lulu was all thumbs -- until she discovers a dusty, old hat in the botom of her uncle's costume trunk. All sorts of strange things start to happen, and soon Lulu's unpredictable nature leads her on an adventure deep into Magic Space.

Michael Bond, OBE, (born in Newbury, Berkshire) is an English author, most celebrated for his Paddington Bear series of books. Bond began writing in 1945 and sold his first short story to the magazine London Opinion. In 1958, after producing a number of plays and short stories and while working as a BBC television cameraman (where he worked filming Blue Peter for a time), his first book, *A Bear Called Paddington*, was published. This was the start of Bond's most famous series of books, telling tales of a bear from "Darkest Peru", whose Aunt Lucy sends him to England, carrying a jar of marmalade. The Brown family found the bear at Paddington Station, and adopted him, naming the bear after the station. By 1967, Bond was able to give up his BBC job to work full-time as a writer. Paddington's adventures have been published in nearly twenty countries, and has inspired pop bands, race horses, plays, hot air balloons and a TV series. Bond stated in December 2007 that he did not plan to continue the adventures of Paddington Bear in further volumes. ([Source][1]) [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Bond
