A brother/sister are in a park when lightning strikes a tree and frees a Merlin character. I seem to remember that there is a picture in the book of children on a tobaggen with the dog. Suitable for six year olds and up it would make a great guided reader for classrooms (128 pages) or perfect supplementary reading for children who are excited by the topic and want more material than is available in class.
