ANNA KADABRA 1: El club de la luna llena

Step into the enchanted world of Anna Kadabra 1: The Full Moon Club, a lively and imaginative children’s fantasy by Pedro Mañas and illustrated by David Sierra Listón. When Anna must leave her old home, school and town, she and her parents relocate to Moonville — an old village nestled deep in the forest. At first she is furious at the change, but the strange legends of the town soon begin to intrigue her. A mysterious cat follows her everywhere. Could it be the familiar of a witch? Or perhaps Anna herself is hiding a secret magical identity?

As she explores her new surroundings, Anna discovers a hidden club that meets under the light of the full moon — a club of witches, young sorcerers and magical creatures. With humour and ease, the story combines everyday school life (making friends, changing homes) with fantastical elements (flying broomsticks, spells, magical animals). The narrative is paced for readers aged 7 to 9, with accessible language, plenty of illustrations, and a gentle sense of wonder. The warm artwork pairs with the text to bring Moonville’s curious charm to life.

Perfect as an introduction to fantasy for young readers, this book encourages imagination, confidence and embracing change. Whether your child is already a fan of magic stories or new to the genre, Anna’s journey from sceptic newcomer to secret-witch-in-training makes for an engaging read. The series invites further volumes, so young readers who finish this one will be keen to continue the adventures. The cheerful tone and subtle lessons about friendship and belonging make it suitable for classroom reading or independent bedtime stories alike.
