Ivy Newt and The Storm Witch is the first book of the brand-new chapter book
series, by Derek Keilty and Magda Brol. It is a delightful journey into a
whimsical world that will enchant young readers imaginations.
Ivy Newt, a determined young witch, embarks
on an extraordinary adventure on her birthday to save her parents, the King and
Queen of the Sand Witches, from the sinister Storm Witch. Accompanied by her loyal
shape shifting friend Tom, Ivy navigates the magical yet perilous land of
Miracula, where danger and wonder lurk.
Keilty’s narrative is a rollercoaster of
excitement, filled with clever twists and turns that keep readers on the edge
of their seats. The dialogue sparkles with wit, while the plot’s pace ensures
that there’s never a dull moment. Brol's lively black and white illustrations
add depth and charm to the narrative, making the world of Miracula come to
life.
Ivy's journey is more than just a rescue
mission; it's a voyage of self-discovery and growth, teaching young readers the
importance of perseverance, friendship, courage, resilience, and the power of
believing in oneself.
Recommended for readers aged between 5
years and upwards, reluctant readers and/or newly independent readers. Ivy
Newt and the Storm Witch is a must-read for any child with a love for magic
and adventure, and a lovely addition to any young reader’s bookshelf.
