New Early Chapter Book Illustrated by Illo Artist Hoang Giang

Published on 03/11/2022

“Magic Keepers” is a new early chapter book series written by Linda Chapman, the author of Star Friends. Hoang Giang’s illustrations perfectly complement this story for young readers. This series is great for youngsters growing in confidence and making the jump to short-chapter books. Congratulations Linda and Hoang on the new series, out now!

About the book: “Hidden away in a bustling old market town, Curio House and its mysterious collection of artifacts has been undisturbed for years. Until now… When her mum inherits the Curio House, Ava is nervous about moving into the creaky Victorian villa, especially when she discovers a room filled with unusual objects and a box of ‘magic’ crystals. Ava knows they can’t really be magic, but when her mischievous Tibetan terrier Pepper tries to eat one of the artifacts, a series of strange and definitely magical events unfold – and soon the whole town is in trouble! Luckily her new friends Sarah and Lily are on hand to help, but can three ordinary girls (and Pepper) learn to control the crystals and protect the world around them?”
