I absolutely love Rachel Chivers Khoo's books. The Finders are magical collectors of lost items and this is a timeless, cozy adventure. Think The Borrowers meets The Magic Faraway Tree. This book explores friendship, courage and caring for the environment. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

I'm so excited to read this. The third installment of Jennifer Bell's Magicalia series, Storm of Chaos. I have had so many reluctant readers who are transfixed by magicores. This latest quest takes the heroes from the Galapagos islands to the rainforests of Borneo. #MGLit @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social
