Guardians of Magic<br />

by Chris Riddell<br />

BOOK REVIEW<br />

Guardians of Magic kicks off a brand new fantasy series for nine to<br />

12 year old readers by much-loved author and illustrator Chris<br />

Riddell.<br />

The Kingdom of Thrynne is a place where fairy tales don’t behave,<br />

and magic can be found in unexpected places. But magic brings<br />

danger to Zam, Phoebe and Bathsheba, because it is forbidden.<br />

Now, the future of magic itself is under threat from powerful enemies:<br />

those who fear it and, worse, those who want to use it for their own ends. What can three<br />

ordinary children do to protect it?<br />

Destined to fight back and keep the Forever Tree’s magic alive, the three children leave their<br />

homes and, armed with their magical objects (a runcible spoon that creates living gingerbread<br />

creatures, a cello that speaks and dreams and a glowing worpel sword), they come together to<br />

fight the villains who threaten the tree’s sacred magic. With help from the beautiful cloud horses,<br />

the children use their courage and wit to embark upon a unique magical quest.<br />

The stunning illustrations throughout the book are what make this really special, with character<br />

sketches, maps and building cross-sections that both delight and inform. Anna, Bags of Books<br />
