Mariah Mundi

I am 15 years old and live in Victorian England. I have just finished at the Colonial School in Chiswick and have been sent to work in The Prince Regent Hotel on the North East Coast of England. It took seven hours by train and I met two really weird people in the same carriage. But I'm here now and have been given the job as the apprentice to a Magician called Bizmillah, I have to prepare all his magical equipment. I have already made one friend called Sacha and she is really brilliant. I miss my parents. I haven't seen them for quite a while as they are missing in Africa where they were helping the poor and hungry. It has been several years since I last heard from them. Anyway I like loads of things including music and the gramophone and have a couple of wax discs to play. I spend most of my time on the beach watching the waves and sneaking round the hotel which is pretty spooky. I will let you know how I get on in my blog.GP Taylor brings you the exciting world of Mariah Mundi.
