The Maloneys' Magical Weatherbox by Nigel Quinlan
5.0
My son enjoyed this book. He discovered it on a recent summer "library-run," where we comb the shelves for interesting covers. My kiddos sometimes pick up books I would never think are their "thing," and this is one of them.
The cover is reminiscent of Dr. Who, which my son is not familiar with, but was the first thing that came to my mine. Indeed the story features a magical weather box, but it's a portal through which magic flows, not a time machine.
The MC and his family are guardians of the box, until a corporate raiding-style takeover of the secret society they serve takes place, and suddenly, the box's "connection" -- literally, the phone line -- has been disconnected. What happens next is action packed, and takes some neat plot twists and turns along the way.
He really enjoyed this read!
