I loved this book! Mez is fantastic and her rainforest world is great. I wanted to spend more time in Caldera and meet more animals and experience more of the rainforest.

It has a unique and fun storyline and the main character is likeable. Definitely more targeted towards kids.

This is another book club choice, an adventure in the SA rain forest told from the POV of a panther cub. It's OK, an adventure with an ancient prophecy coming back and various forest animals with super powers joining together to overcome it.

I am sorry--- the artwork is lovely...the story sounds good, I just can't handle a story where one of the animals is injured. It really bothered me. Enough to not want to read past the third chapter. Yes, I am weak....don't let it affect your opinion!

J'ai bien aimé cette histoire où les personnages principaux sont des animaux. Ça suit le schéma classique des romans jeunesses. Puisque j'en ai déjà lu plusieurs, je n'ai pas été impressionnée plus que ça, mais je peux comprendre pourquoi les enfants aimeraient cette histoire, d'où ma note plutôt neutre.

4.0

This was a really fun read, definitely more suited to younger audiences than all ages though. But it was an easy read, and the whole concept of "daywalkers" and "nightwalkers" was really interesting once I realized they were not simply interchangeable with "nocturnal". It had great pacing and watching Mez's character development was really enjoyable.

Definitely recommend for younger readers who like fantasy and any reader looking for an easy read

If you're a fan of Warriors and need a similar book to pass the long time before the next book, look no further than The Lost Rainforest Series. Full of relatable characters that you won't forget in a hurry, Mez's Magic will give you an entirely new look on the rainforest. Schrefer does a great job at keeping the plot moving at all times even while introducing new animals. Full of twists, turns and so much more, this is a great book for fans of any animal series.

In this rainforest, there are daywalkers, nightwalkers, and the special eclipse-born shadow walkers. Mez is a panther, who walks both day an night, even though it is considered taboo for panthers to be awake during the day. When Mez is rejected by her family, a snake, Auriel, takes the younger panther under his wing and enlists her and several other eclipse born to defeat the ant queen, who is attempting to take over the forest. Along the journey, Mez finds new friends, enemies, and learns the extent of her own powers.

This was an interesting concept. I just wasn't completely compelled by it. I think children will enjoy this book.
