He knows they want to read classic tales of good v evil, but they also want to read about bottoms and noses and all that kind of stuff.      <\/p>\n<p>     The Blizzard Wizard is the 14th book in the brilliant Ramion series. When the Blizzard Wizard turns the whole of the kingdom of Ramion into ice, brothers Benjamin, Julius and Alexander plus Scrooey-Looey their half-mad friend set off to gather the four elements which will bind up the Blizzard Wizard and take him back to his prison cell.      <\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\">\n<p>     It&rsquo;s a gripping adventure with plenty of scary moments and humour to keep everyone guessing right until the end.
