(Content from The Magic Warble Website) Dwarfs, gnomes, fairies, talking animals, and an evil queen – all these and more can be found in The Magic Warble, an enchanting tale of adventure and friendship.
.
.Twelve-year-old Kristina Kingsly feels like the most unpopular girl in her school. The kids all tease her, and she never seems to fit in. But when Kristina receives an unusual Christmas gift, she suddenly finds herself magically transported to the land of Bernovem, home of dwarfs, gnomes, fairies, talking animals, and the evil Queen Sentiz.
.
In Bernovem, Kristina not only fits in, she’s honored as “the chosen one” the only one who can release the land from Queen Sentiz’s control. But it’s not as simple as it seems. To save Bernovem, she must place the gift she was given, the famous “Magic Warble” in its final resting place. And she must travel through the deep forest, climb a treacherous mountain, and risk capture by the queen’s “zelbocks” before she reaches her destination. Guided by her new fairy friends, Clover and Looper and by Prince Werrien, a teenage boy, as well as an assortment of other characters, Kristina sets off on a perilous journey that not only tests her strength but her heart.

My Thoughts…
.
So as some of you have seen my state before…I love to read. I will even loose sleep to stay up and read a good book!
.
Now, I do like some works of Fantasy and Sci-fi…as long as the book is not too dark….and as long as it is well written of course.
.
When asked if I would like to review The Magic Warble…I was hesitant at first… because of the genre….fantasy can be a bit on the dark side and knowing it was a children’s/tween book…made me even more nervous.
.
But let me say…I finished up the book yesterday and it isn’t dark at all to my surprise. (…at least in my opinion)…so if your kiddo likes faeries, gnomes, evil queens, brave princes and talking animals…then this book will be right up his or her alley.
.
This is not a read in one sitting book. The book had 267 pages and though it does have a few illustrations scattered throughout the book, the majority is text.
.
Will older teens and adults like this book???….hmm…everyone is different…this is not a book that I would typically pick-up for myself or recommend to my adult friends…just becuase I think this book is really geared to the 8-14 crowd… give or take. The Magic Warble lacks a certain maturity and character complexity that books geared for older teens and adults contain often times…and that is no way a criticism. I both like and admire this book for it’s innocence. It has fun, danger, adventure, friendship, good and evil all without any questionable content. So as a Mom… I give this book two thumbs to the sky!
