Serena Malyon.
Jake, eleven, and Simon, six, are uprooted from Canada when their mother moves them to London to live with her sister's family. En route, they receive a carpet, a camera, and a stopwatch from a magician's stall. With their cousin Hannah, the boys discover the objects' powers and embark on rollicking exploits in an attempt to aid their family's financial problems. A fun-filled, zany adventure.
