On the first day of Christmas CHILD Magazine gave to me… Nevermoor by Jessica Townsend
nevermoor-coverPeople love adventure and magical worlds – especially when the hero is an underdog. That’s why it came as no surprise when this book achieved the biggest children’s debut in the Australian market since records began. Nevermoor is about Morrigan, who is unloved because she is “cursed – destined to bring bad luck to all around her until she dies on her 11th birthday.
However, moments before she’s about to die, she is whisked away to Nevermoor where she has to compete to join the prestigious Wundrous Society. Full of magic and mischief, secrets and surprises, friendship and enemies, Morrigan must find a way to pass all the trials (or die).
The first book of the series, this is one all lovers of fantasy and adventure will adore. You can buy it here for $12.99
On the second day of Christmas CHILD Magazine gave to me… No one Likes A Fart by Zoe Foster Blake
no-one-likes-a-fartIt may true that no one really likes a fart, but for some reason, kids love joking and reading about them. In this cute book, Fart is looking for a friend but everywhere he goes, people seem to cringe and scrunch their nose. Young children only beginning to read will love this book – especially if that means grabbing any opportunity they can to say the word “fart”!
You can buy it here for $14.99
On the third day of Christmas CHILD Magazine gave to me…
Dr Boogaloo & The Girl Who Lost Her Laughter by Lisa Nicol
dr-boogaloo-and-the-girl-who-lost-her-laughter
What do you do if you lose your laughter? How do you get it back? This is exactly what happens to Blue, a young girl who has not laughed for almost two years. Obviously, an unusual illness requires an equally unusual doctor, and that’s where Dr Boogaloo comes into the picture.
Dr Boogaloo specialises in unique cases and he treats his patients with perhaps the most powerful medicine known to mankind (maybe second only to laughter, actually)… Music! Can Dr Boogaloo compose a cure for Blue or is her laughter gone forever?
A bit of a slow start, this story eventually picks up and explores interesting ideas such as friendship, the power of music, overcoming challenges and the importance of diversity and individuality. You can buy it here for $19.99
On the fourth day of Christmas CHILD Magazine gave to me… Have Sword Will Travel by Garth Nix
have-sword-will-travelReminiscent of the legends of King Arthur, this book is a medieval, fantasy adventure about two friends (Odo and Eleanor) who stumble upon an ancient, talking sword. By finding this enchanted sword (named Biter), Odo instantly becomes a knight and he and Eleanor are thrust into a quest to save their kingdom.
This book is a fun read, full of interesting characters, epic challenges, dragons, curses and friendship. The book is surprisingly funny, with a good mix of adventure and ordinary life (if you can call learning how to wield a sword ordinary). Even older readers will enjoy this one! You can buy it here for $14.99
