Summary

Join a school where children can change into animals! A thrilling new magical fantasy series from the author of the bestselling Kitty books.


Animagicals are children born with the power to change into an animal. They can change into any animal and they need help controlling their ability until they find their true form - the animal they are destined to be. Will they fly like an eagle, leap like a leopard or skulk like a fox? Come and join them at Wild Haven, a magical school set up to protect and train animagicals in a magical forest hidden from the ordinary world.


Willow has already decided that a horse is going to be her true animagical form. All she has to do is practice hard enough to make it happen. So she's surprised to find she loves turning into an owl and soaring into the sky.

From up high, she discovers patches of damaged forest. Something or someone is hurting trees all across the land of Animagia. But who at Wild Haven School would do that and why?


Look out for more books in the Animagicals series:


- Mia's Tiger

- Noah's Bear

    Set in a world where words appear physically when people speak, AWAY WITH WORDS explores the importance of communication and being there for those we love.

Gala and her dad, Jordi, have just moved from home in Cataluña to a town in Scotland, to live with Jordi's boyfriend Ryan. Gala doesn't speak much English, and feels lost, lonely and unable to be her usual funny self. Until she befriends Natalie, a girl with selective mutism. The two girls find their own ways to communicate, which includes collecting other people's discarded words. They use the words to write anonymous supportive poems for their classmates, but then someone begins leaving nasty messages using the same method – and the girls are blamed. Gala has finally started adapting to her new life in Scotland and is determined to find the culprit. Can she and Natalie show the school who they really are?

An intriguing, thoughtful and lyrical exploration of how we express ourselves, for fans of Katya Balen, A POCKETFUL OF STARS and Lisa Thompson.

    "How much longer do you think we'll have to wait?" Tilly Carpenter asked rather questioningly, with her fingers crossed and some degree of impatience.

She had never been any good at waiting around for something to happen! But this was one thing that no one was able to speed up; it would simply happen when Brownie was ready, and not before… no matter what Tilly did in the poor attempt to hurry things along.

"I'm not sure," Coral Johnson shrugged in answer. "But Dad thinks it will be soon. Maybe one or two more days?"

"At least we're on spring break, so it doesn't really matter." Tilly sighed in exasperation. "We're going to be here at Saddlers Ranch as much as we can until then. Right, Lexie?"

"Absolutely!" Lexie Howard nodded in avid agreement. "And afterwards too, don't forget."

"Of course," Tilly seemed almost affronted by the suggestion that she might not have remembered. "How could I forget! Brownie's standing right in front of us, and she's grown so much that it looks like she really did swallow another horse!"

"Mares always have protruding bellies when they're in foal." Coral explained, chuckling slightly.

"Yes, I know. But not that much, surely?" Tilly stuttered. "She's huge!"
