MY REVIEW
Magicalia is part fiction, with a lovely fantasy theme, interwoven in the storyline that grips you, and then the story becomes even more interesting with a flair of magic that happens when you are least expecting it. Sadly Bitsy mum who was an investigating reporter passed away in a car accident. Someday Bitsy wants to follow in her mum’s footsteps. With Bitsy’s laptop, microphone and headphones she starts reporting about the community she lives in, until a strange looking monster appears inside her house. The monster and a wicked raven-hair woman are looking for something in Bitsy’s house. Mayhem is about to take place, Bitsy’s dad vanishes, with the monster and the raven-haired woman. I was absolutely clueless in how Bitsy could safely get her dad back. I for one absolutely just loved this new fantasy fiction novel with loving every single page, so much so, that I would definitely read the next in this fantasy series by author Jennifer Bell. This book is splendidly, a first class fictional tale, with a mixture of fantasy and magic that any 8 to 13 years will sure find unptdownable.
