REVIEW BY: Angelina, age 8 years, 11 months
Book 1: Magelica's Voyage
I really liked this book! It was a sweet and wondrous fairy tale about love, believing in things and a new world on a sea turtle's back!
Magelica has always wondered who she really is. Who are her parents? Where is she from? And other questions like that. When Magelica comes home from a thunderstorm she wants to take a bath, but soon she discovers her feather necklace is gone! Then she finds herself taking a wonderful adventure in her bathtub! Magelica's adventure involves love, an island on the back of a sad unmoving sea turtle and a new fairy!
My favorite part of this book is when Magelica makes the turtle happy again by singing her favorite song.
I love this book sooooooooo much from the story to the illustrations. I want to read it again and again!
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 7 to 9.
Book 2: Magelica's Voyage: The Rescue
The second book is such a lovely book about believing in yourself and being happy.
When Magelica has a dream about a lost prince, Will, she goes back to the Isle of Dreams. Magelica needs to believe in herself. When Magelica rescues Price Will they feel instantly connected.
I love this book because all of the amazing characters and the turtle's world. My favorite part of this book is everything.
This book was great from start to finish and I highly recommend it to other little girls that need a little bit more confidence or that love stories like this!
I give this book 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 7 to 9.
