Everyone knows him as Ketchup. Hardly anyone knows what he can really do.
At school, Henry has a nickname he didn't ask for - Ketchup.It started because he turns bright red sometimes.
Okay, a lot of times.
And once people noticed, they didn't stop.
These days, keeping quiet feels like the safest plan. No talking. No attention. No chances to blush and mess things up.
But Orchard Care Home, where Henry's granddad lives, is different. There, Henry feels relaxed and happy - brave enough to practise the thing he loves most: magic.
When the school plans a fundraiser to raise money for a garden at the care home, Henry's friend Evie has an idea that instantly fills him with dread. What if Henry performed?
What starts as a frightening idea becomes the moment Henry proves he's more than a nickname.
