The Magic Place

Product Information

Mark Richardson of Pitchfork awarded the album the site's "Best New Music" designation and felt that it "stands above her earlier work in virtually every way". If your looking for a quick middlegrade about a girl finding her own power, a family reunion and a cute cat keep on reading.

This was an utterly charming book and it was so refreshing to read a tale where there were no references to mobile phones, laptops or Xbox games. Guests at the apartment can enjoy walking tours and bike tours nearby, or make the most of the garden. Certainly, I was not aware of why this particular idea had been around in my head for so long, or where it may have come from. Chris Worley also does a great job filling each page with illustrations to promote reader engagement. She glimpses the sky through looking up the chimney in her cellar, until one day she looks out of a window in the house and sees the magic place she has imagined… Then follows a great adventure through the Great Black City as Clementine miraculously escapes and tries to find her magic place.Much of the book's unique feel comes from how the narrator directly interacts with the reader, providing asides, and pulling back the curtain to reveal how the villains perform their vile deeds. This is indeed a "Magic Place"Antonio, the owner, is the perfect host and was so welcoming and helpful when we arrived. There’s an edge of Victorian melodrama, vaudevillian humour, alongside whiffs of wonderful Riddell draughtsmanship, but ‘ The Magic Place‘ is entirely Chris Wormell’s own ‘forever’ masterpiece. Quando tutto questo non avviene, una casa resta uno sterile tetto sulla testa, privo di qualsiasi accezione di calore. Known for his instantly recognisable style, Chris is the acclaimed illustrator of the iconic covers for Philip Pullman's La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust – Volume One and the award-winning H is for Hawk, as well as the creator of a host of picture books, including the bestselling George and the Dragonand One Smart Fish.

You guys were so fab and Dawn was such a lovely presence in the schools - I will absolutely be in touch next time I'm in your neck of the woods.
