The Magical Everything
by Jenny Pinto, Jenny Pinto
The Magical Everything by Jenny Pinto, illustrated by Sharon Dev is a hybrid graphic novel where the author takes the readers on an adventure into the eco-wonderlands in search of the magical everything - the magic of nature, through the character of Ila. When Ila finds it difficult to create a science project with her friend Mallika on Climate change, she seeks refuge in Kapak, a huge old silk cotton tree and other characters such as Mira, Mr. Ramanujam, Hanu, and others. Go on this journey with Ila to find not only the solution for her science project, a subject which she doesn't enjoy much, but also for a journey of learning and fun.
The story was very well set and tried to make the facts of science fun with the intermingling of both aspects. The illustrations go very well with the story and make it more interesting.
The story tried to engage the readers with the wonders of nature and how it works from the time the earth was created to its present scenario - the age of Anthropocene and climate change, and how humans are making matters worse and what can be done now. Though the story got the element where it could be easily engaging, the story was highly academic as well, and at times, the intermixing of storytelling and learning felt imbalanced.
Overall, it is an educating and entertaining read for Middle and High School Children (but obviously can be read by Adults as well) about our environment, surroundings and the climate crisis in an engaging and visually appealing way.
