Magic Animals 1: The Power of the Amulet

Magic Animals 1: The Power of the Amulet by Susanna Isern is the first book in a captivating fantasy series designed for beginning readers aged roughly 6–9. Set in the mysterious Valley of Blim, this imaginative story combines magic, adventure, and lovable animal-characters who transform into children with extraordinary powers. It’s a perfect blend of narrative and comic-style pages that encourages reading and keeps young minds entertained.

In this adventure, something unusual is happening in the valley: Abi, once a bird sleeping among the sequoias, wakes up transformed into a child. And she isn’t alone — companions like Éric, Cloe, Yuna, Nico, and the enigmatic Hela Crow were ordinary animals too, until they became Magic Animals. Together, they must face the evil plans of the wicked magician Otto. Whether they succeed depends on the magical power of their amulets and the bravery of the group.

Written in accessible language with large text and short chapters, Magic Animals 1 is ideal for early independent readers who are transitioning from simple picture books to longer narrative formats. Full-color illustrations by Carles Dalmau bring the characters and magical world to life, helping young readers follow the story and understand key events.

Perfect for children who love fantasy adventures, talking animals, and stories with friendship and courage at their core, this book also makes a wonderful gift for young readers beginning their journey into chapter books. It’s the start of a series that promises fun, imagination, and endless discovery.
