Kit can't stand reading She'd MUCH rather be outside, playing games and getting muddy, than stuck inside with a book.

No one knew about the Wizard of Worsley Woods, he kept himself to himself, hidden away from all the other people of the world. He was shy, as wizards tend to be, and he didn't like lots of people and the fuss they brought. So he hid in the far corners of the woods, away from all the dog walkers and families and children that went there for walks. His favourite times where when the wood was empty; when all the children were at school, or at dusk and dawn, or when the weather was really bad. Then he could wander around wherever he wanted without the fear of being spotted. So if you ever go to Worsley Woods you won't see him, but he might see you!
