5.0 out of 5 stars
The importance of listening to others with more life experience, June 24, 2014
This review is from: Magical Mea (Paperback)
Sisters can be mischievous and Mea is no
exception when she takes her antics to a new level. Having obtained
magical powers to fix things with her mind, Mea turned the wheels to
cause chaos of hiding items instead. Ignoring her old brother Matthew’s
steadfast warnings of her magical powers, Mea insists to do things her
way. Matthew’s every growing frustration with Mea escalates when Mea
goes off alone to most likely create havoc throughout the neighborhood.
Will Matthew and his best friend, Lily, find Mea in time before she
causes irreparable damage. Find out in Magical Mea by award-winning
children’s author, Penelope Anne Cole.
Ms. Cole’s second book in the magical series teaches a valuable lesson to not only Mea, but to the reader of the importance of listening to others with more life experience and destructive decisions often conclude with disastrous results. Illustrator, Kevin Collier once again creates the quirky characters that have become the trademark of Ms. Cole’s Magical Matthew and Magical Mea series.
