I wonder where Mama, Papa and Rosa are, and whether they’re safe and warm in a house in the village, or stuck somewhere, cold and windblown, between the village and the castle. Jeżeli szukacie magicznej, lekkiej i przyjemnej lektury, z którą zakopanie się w łóżku pod kocykiem to sama przyjemność to „Zaczarowany zamek” jest właśnie taką książką. She lifts a walking stick, rattles it against a branch, and five apples drop to the ground at her feet. Find out about the latest book in the 'Girl, Missing' series, Secret Sister, in this short video by author Sophie McKenzie.I might be able to persuade some of the wild-honey collectors to bring their climbing equipment over here so we can get in through the hole in the ceiling. I look from Papa to Babusya, wondering if she has a tale about Aurora Dome, but she isn’t paying attention to us. I look down at myself to check I really am okay, then lower my gaze to the wooden chest, which has split open within its chains, on the floor beside us. During this crisis, Olia discovers that the castle harbors an abundance of magic that is yearning to break free. Once a year, when the harvest moon rises, fat and red, Castle Mila glistens like a ripening blackberry and its Great Hall fills with people carrying the last fruits of autumn, baked into pies and boiled into jams of every colour and flavour imaginable.

I kick off my boots and socks and clamber up the nearest tree, my bare feet gripping the thick, rough trunk and my hands grasping each branch, until I’m surrounded by fruits. Someone from our family makes one every year, and tomorrow I’ll add mine to the four hundred and ninety-nine other squares that make up our patchwork family blanket. But his snout flattens slightly, making him look more human, and although his face remains covered in neat, orange-brown fur, some of it grows into a flowing moustache and beard that hides his mouth and reaches halfway down his chest. There are, however, two loose panels in the bottom corner of the left door that I always sneak through. This had a good message of learning from our history and what the people that came before got very wrong and trying to right any wrong that has been done and not judging people that are different then us just because of those differences.Manchmal kam es mir vor, als würde Olia öfter mal auf der Stelle treten mit ihrem Gewissen und wie sie sich nun entscheiden soll. In this enchanted realm, she learns that appearances can be deceiving, and that mysteries abound at every turn. We got to see all these amazing magical creatures and their magic but we only got a fleeting glimpse at most of them and what they can do and I would have loved to understand more of the magic and the magical beings.

Dinara and Luka said there was no storm in the village last night,” I explain as I kick off my boots. Then I race to the Great Hall to help with the preparations, trying to unknot the small tangle of worry in my stomach and banish Babusya’s strange talk about tearing winds, by sliding down every bannister on the way. In the third magical Stella Starflake adventure the explorers meet gargoyles, sea-gremlins, mermaids, red devil squids - even a Gentleman Flamingo! The Land of Forgotten Magic that Olia travels too is wonderfully full of these creatures, and the world itself is richly described with different 'domes' of lands filled with specific elemental creatures. Sophie Anderson grew up in Swansea, studied at Liverpool University, and has worked as a geologist and science teacher.I recoil from my own words, knowing full well that my parents didn’t want me to come in here at all. She gathers an amazing assortment of companions as she travels on her quest - Feliks, the castle 'domovoi' or protective house spirit, Koshka the cat, Cascadia the 'rusalka' (female water spirit) and Dub the leshy (tree spirit) to name a few. Es geht viel um Freundschaft, an den Glauben an sich selbst und dass man einander beisteht und hilft. BOOK OF THE MONTH - the much awaited latest installment in this popular diary-style series for ages 7+. Author Guy Bass introduces SCRAP, about one robot who tried to protect the humans on his planet against an army of robots.
