Fabulous reads: Magical journey continues in kiddies novel

Twice Magic (The Wizards of Once #2), Cressida Cowell, Pan Macmillan, ISBN: 9781444941432

MAGIC and mayhem, or magical mayhem, are possibly the best ways to describe this book for children (and maybe a few adults too).

Xar, a young boy wizard, has been wrongfully incarcerated. Well, he is less of a prisoner and more a daily-escapee than anything else. He wants to right the wrongs he may or may have set in motion in the first book and concocts a daring plot to free himself and rid the world of the evil witches.

Wish is Warrior-born girl and wizards and warriors are not to be friends. The two factions are sworn enemies. As fate would have it, this duo are thick as thieves.

It is only after after a over-the-top rescue mission by Xar, or abduction as some would call it, that they embark on another crazy adventure.

Expect werewolves, giants, spells, action and loads of Cressida’s spectacular artwork dotted throughout the novel.

If your children loved the first one, they are going to be absolutely spellbound by book two!
