ReadPlus What happens when an imaginary friend is outgrown, or
worse, forgotten by the very person who made him real? That's what
Tish is bound to discover. You see, it all starts with Charles
Dimple who sets out to create his perfect friend. Naturally, he
needs to be large, with tusks and a tail. "A bit like a dragon-but
better." Tish was made for Charles, but could there be someone out
there who's made for Tish? This is Tish's journey with the three
children who make him real--change him, the way the best
relationships do--and inspire him to do a bit of believing of his
own. Once you've met Tish, you'll never forget him. Award-winning
author Edwina Wyatt's enchanting middle-grade novel is an ode to
imagination and believing and a reminder that even relationships
that don't last forever are very much worth having.
For Magnolia Moon, magic is a way to solve problems. And when
you're starting a new class at school and your best friend doesn't
live across the road any more, problems seem to come easily. In her
latest adventure, Magnolia Moon invents everyday magic to help her
navigate the pitfalls of friendship, school, family and being ten.
A lyrical and imaginative tale which highlights everyday wonders
through Magnolia's curious and observant nature.
Magnolia Moon is nine years old, likes Greek mythology, her best
friend Imogen May (who understands the importance of questions
like, "If you could be one fruit, any fruit, what would you be?"),
wishing trees, and speaking crows. She knows instinctively that
buffadillos are armadillos crossed with buffalos and believes there
are walramingos living in her garden. She's also the kind of person
who can be entrusted with a great many secrets. Each chapter in
this novel, which captures Magnolia's year of being nine and ends
on Chapter Almost 10, reveals a secret that Magnolia is keeping.
But the novel also chronicles a year of change for Magnolia. From
her best friend moving to the birth of her little brother Finnegan,
Magnolia navigates every challenge and secret that comes her way
with the kind of authenticity and innocence that comes from being
nine years wise.
