A Five Star Review for Magical Matthew

Another great 5-Star Review on Amazon

 

 

5.0 out of 5 starsMagic for Good

ByAnn B.on August 26, 2015

Format: Hardcover|Verified Purchase

 

I bought this book series for my 8 year old daughter. She was captivated by the illustrations and enjoyed following Matthew on his magical adventure. I image she would like some magical superpower of her own! I enjoyed the fact that Matthew chose to use his magic in a positive way, and I was delighted that Grandma Nonie guided Matthew to make his own decisions. My daughter’s favorite part of the book was the surprise ending with Matthew’s sister, and she knew there was more fun to come in the second book, Magical Mea.
