Magelica’s Voyage & The Rescue (Magelica’s Voyage, Book 1 & 2) Book Review.

Fresh off the postbox!

Magelica’s Voyage, Book 1

received the paperback copies of the books sent across the oceans from Canada all the way to India. To say I was amazed and happy was an understatement, I had no idea I had been chosen to get the paperbacks. Thank you so much. The quality of the book, the paper, printing and the lovely illustrationsmade me a little girl once again! So excited I was to get the books, I immediately sat down to read.
A beautiful angelic girl who is trying to find answers for herself, discovering her magic and inner strength. Making friends and learning,  mystical creatures and flying to unknown places; Magelica’s Journey is one incredible book.
First, as soon as I saw the book with its beautiful pictures and images I was enamored, eagerly turning the pages. Each picture a work of art, beautifully complementing the story; making it a delight to read.
Magecila with Tris, her pet Dragon  pulled me into the story immediately, I was a little girl, along with her as she traveled and explored. The books emphasis on having faith, trusting our instincts and believing in ourselves makes is special – a story with a message.
These lines from the book have so much meaning and depth; a mother’s melody of love.
“Come summer rain and winter snow,
My love is there wherever you go;
Over mountains high and oceans deep,
My love will guide you awake or asleep.”
 I read these lines to my son and he loved them and we often hum them now. Wizards, magic, beautiful prose, excellent language, pretty pictures and flying all lead up to a big adventure and new friends.
Love, honesty, imagination, seeking knowledge all the qualities we wish our children to emulate are woven into this story. I liked this book for its meaningful story, morals and the lessons we learned as we read Magelica’s Voyage. A must read for lovers of mystery, fairy tales, and adventure.
Follow the words of Louise Courey Nadeau, Believe in love and trust that love is the key to being happy!”
Mesmerizing Magelica!!

The Rescue, (Magelica’s Voyage, Book 2)

This tale of The Rescue continues with Magelica’s journey as she goes to search for Prince Will. She keeps her faith, belief in herself and trusting her instincts. This book is just as well written and executed by Louise as the first one. The book continues where  Magelica finished her journey and  dreams of a prince in trouble.
She follows her heart and flies off to rescue Will, finding courage in laughter and her belief in magic. The book delivers it a message with a gripping tale filled with danger and mystery.
“Where there’s a Will,
there’s a way.

The Isle of Darkness and the Isle of Dreams and many funny things in between make an absorbing read. Learning and fun all wrapped up in this striking picture story book.

I found only one thing odd that Magelica is always dressed in her bathrobe; I think she needs a change of clothes for her next adventure. The part when Odin was shocked to needles in this adventure, make me laugh so much. The Rescue adds so much to Magelica’s story, peppered with fun, laughter, and faith; facing new dangers and making new friends.

The second part of the reaffirms her confidence and highlights the power of laughter and love. One gives her the strength and the other guides her path as she embarks on her adventures.

“Cheering, singing and laughing all day,
Takes all your worries and fears away.
When you open your eyes and put on a smile,
You’ll only see good for a long, long while.”
A storybook to remind us that courage, love, and a little laughter will ease any journey ensuring our success.  Even hardships have a purpose, making us stronger. There are new adventures ahead and so much more to do as I look forward to Magelica’s next adventure.
