MY REVIEW
I became a fan of author Rachel Chivers Khoo after reading The Wishkeeper’s Apprentice.
The Magician Next Door by Rachel Chivers Khoo is a fantastic fantasy story. Everyone loves a story full of magic. Children will love this exciting story, that will transport them, escaping, into the land of make believe.
Callie Brown, is feeling lost and lonely moving from her flat wither dad to Northern Ireland. One evening Callie’s new house begins to become a bit more exciting, when a magician’s house lands in her garden unpside down.
Normally magicians stay hidden from all humans, but Winnifred needs Callie’s help. Callie sees Winnifred Potts as someone who could be quite dangerous with magic powers. Wanderdust scattered around, and sent the magicians house upside down, so now Winnifred wants Callie to help find the wanderdust. I truly loved this whole story, and the authors wonderful imagination. I’m already looking forward to the next book.
I would like to thank walker books for sending me a copy of one of my favourite authors books to read and review
