It's hard not to like a tale in which intrepid younglings confront hazards ranging from a massive ticking bomb to a cannon that shoots spaghetti sauce. . . .the author is plainly having a ball--and it's catching. . . .A rollicking good time.
--Kirkus Reviews Reminiscent of Pokémon, this second installment of Bell's Magicalia series sends readers on a rollicking adventure. . . . Middle-grade fantasy gamers will appreciate the world building, delightful characters, and fun illustrations. There's a well-balanced combination of imagination and science, which adds credence to the plot.
