lauriehnatiuk 's review for:

Willa the Wisp by Jonathan Auxier
4.0

Thank you to Edelweiss Plus for an advanced reading copy.

Young readers are going to love this series filled with magical creatures, and adults are going to enjoy the rich language and play on words! In this first book, eight-year-old Auggie lives on an island and is in charge of the one-of-a-kind magical beasts, where a new stable appears when there is a new creature. With the arrival of a swamp-like stable but no creature in the stable, Auggie must go into the swamp to find it. He discovers the stable is for Willa, a wisp with magical powers can search for treasure. Some men wish to capture Willa-the-wisp and use her to find treasure.
A delightful introduction to what will be a fun series to read independently or as a read-aloud. Another chapter book series to add to collections!
