Review: Marjorie Magic

Marjorie Magic wondered why her name was Magic. She couldn't do any of the magic things her mum, dad and baby brother did. Could she really belong in this magical family?

 

One day she found a book on magic spells. It filled her with hope that maybe she could learn magic.

 

Marjorie Magic is a delightfully illustrated picture book filled with enchanting, cartoon style, full page illustrations that will ignite a child's imagination and have them in giggles as Marjorie's magic spells go slightly wrong each time.

 

Marjorie Magic is a cute story about feeling like you don't fit in and trying to find your place. It's a story about perseverance and not giving up when things go wrong.

 

The book came with gorgeous cards to write your own magic spells on.

 

My rating 5 / 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
