Magicalia

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! * Elle McNicoll *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! * Mel Taylor-Bessent *Spectacular! A world-beating feat of imagination, as enthralling as it is exciting. Climb on board your ozoz, and hold on tight! * Sinéad O’Hart *Magicalia had me gripped from chapter one, with thrilling twists and magical creatures at every turn. A spellbinding read. * Rachel Chivers Khoo *Magicalia is a thrilling story with brilliant, loveable characters. Bell’s storytelling is wonderful and the world she creates bursts with technicolour – I absolutely raced through it. * Jasbinder Bilan *
