Billy Field can hardly sit still—his tenth birthday is just around the corner! Not only is he finally hitting double digits, but he’s turning ten on the tenth day of the tenth month. As far as Billy’s concerned, that’s basically magic.

And speaking of magic… Billy’s birthday party is set to be epic. His best friend Ant is coming, the magician is ready to wow the crowd, and Max—Ant’s super‑talented sister—is helping with the tricks. Even Granddad gets in on the fun, conjuring Billy’s birthday present out of thin air: a crisp twenty‑pound note.

But the magic doesn’t last.

After the party, Billy’s special birthday money is stolen by the local bully. Suddenly Billy’s perfect day takes a not‑so‑perfect turn. Bullying is scary, unfair, and confusing—and Billy has to decide what to do next.
