Fun, fast and ferociously readable, I loved every minute of Bitsy’s and Kosh's adventures with the magicores. Pokémon meets Diana Wynne Jones in this outstanding start to a fantastic series. Already one of my favourite books of 2024!
Jennifer Bell makes the impossible seem possible in this fantastical, pacy and hugely impressive story that’s filled with around-the-world adventure, intricate world building and magical creatures that are conjured from different emotions. It’s an absolute triumph!
Spectacular! A world-beating feat of imagination, as enthralling as it is exciting. Climb on board your ozoz, and hold on tight!
Magicalia had me gripped from chapter one, with thrilling twists and magical creatures at every turn. A spellbinding read.
