Review

Magnolia is a delightful character that you will love!


Magnolia is navigating life at school without her best friend Imogen May, and life in a busy family, where she feels that ‘everyone was stuck inside their own private bubble’.


Can Magnolia’s knack of seeing magic in everyday things help her navigate the issues of making new friends, and overcoming the realisation that Imogen May has a new best friend? It may take a little help and understanding from those around her, including Grandma Moon.


Magnolia has a wonderful, inquisitive nature, and has a beautiful outlook on life.


This is a wonderful, lyrical book that will be thoroughly enjoyed by all middle to senior primary students.
