Twins Misha and Ziggy have amazing super powers!
Misha can talk to animals and Ziggy can shapeshift into an animal form of his choosing.
When they accompany their TV Wildlife Presenter Dad to Ethiopia on a quest to film the rare and endangered black lion, the pair are in for more of an adventure than they ever bargained for!
It seems there are more people than just the wildlife camera crew are searching for the black lion; dangerous poachers are on the hunt too,
Warned by their Dad to stay close to camp and to always be with an adult, how will it be possible for Misha and Ziggy to use their special powers to help save the life of the lion.
A chapter book for ages six plus, Wild Magic is the first in an exciting new series by the award winning author, Abiola Bello.
Misha and Ziggy are so full of fun and life and energy, it is easy to like them straight away!
I love how the twins manage to have an adventure even whilst they are under the watchful eye of their Dad and Hanna, who is tasked with taking care of them in Ethiopia.
This fast paced adventure will have you on the edge of your seat!
Thanks to Misha and Ziggy’s superpowers we are able to delve into the world of animals to consider their point of view and how human interaction can often be detrimental to their survival.
This book is a super starting point for discussions on animal welfare and protection of endangered species.
Guaranteed to leave you looking forward to the next adventure, I would highly recommend this for a newly confident reader.
The illustrations by Emma McCann are bright, cheeky and guaranteed to make you smile.
