A review by cathyp72
The Time of Green Magic by Hilary McKay

4.0

This is a lovely book to settle down with. The characters are wonderfully well drawn, their interactions both convincing and show development throughout the story. The difficulties faced by two families suddenly becoming one, the issues of sharing not just personal things but space and parents, are all sensitively woven together. I also loved the concept of tumbling into books, and the creature Iffen that emerges from one is a fantastic creation. I really enjoyed this one.
