Anna Kadabra 16: The Forbidden Book

Step into the enchanting world of Anna Kadabra, the youngest apprentice in the Club of the Full Moon, in this exhilarating 16th instalment, The Forbidden Book. When the secret library of Madame Prune is revealed—a vault of ancient grimoires and dark enchantments—Anna and her fellow apprentices eagerly volunteer to explore it. Everything appears manageable… until one of the old volumes vanishes and along with it, the seriously studious Sarah Kazam disappears too.

What begins as an exploration of dusty tomes becomes a rescue mission full of spells, laughter and unexpected allies. With short, illustrated chapters and a cast of relatable friends, this story blends humour, magic and female empowerment. Anna leads her team through hidden passages, shimmering potions and whispered incantations, all while learning that true power lies in trust and teamwork.

This volume is perfect for readers aged 7 and above who are ready for a self-contained adventure that doesn’t require reading previous instalments, though fans of the series will delight in familiar characters and escalating stakes. With vibrant artwork by illustrator David Sierra Listón and the award-winning narrative talent of Pedro Mañas, The Forbidden Book invites children to immerse themselves in a magical setting where bravery, friendship and imagination are the greatest spells of all.

Bring home a story that opens a door to mysterious libraries, enchanting mischief and unwavering friendship—and let your young reader join Anna’s magical adventure today.
