Kallie George’s The Missing Magic is a Magical Animal Adoption Agency story for 6 year olds about a girl who has to share her favourite place with a know-it-all.<\/p>\n
Clover volunteers at a secret agency in the Woods, looking after unicorns, fairy horses and an invisible flying puppy called Picnic. It’s the best thing in her life, and she can’t tell a single non-magical person about it.<\/p>\n
Now there’s Oliver Von Hoof. He’s written three volumes of the Magical Animal Encyclopedia and he’s only a little bit older than her. He vanishes whenever there’s hard work to do. And now Mr Jams is teaching him to do adoptions, which are Clover’s job!<\/p>\n
Who hasn’t felt that twinge when someone new seems to be taking your place? Clover’s jealousy feels very real. She even snoops through Oliver’s parcel and tries on a pretty sun necklace she finds inside. Then the clasp won’t undo.<\/p>\n
Next, a knight who’s a hopeless poet turns up with a moody phoenix. It turns out Mr Jams was once a knight too (Clover had no idea). He’s needed elsewhere, and the Agency is left to Clover and Oliver together.<\/p>\n
That’s when the animals start changing. Dipity, Clover’s green kitten, gets a white tip to his tail. Picnic’s golden paws start to show. Their magic is fading, and nobody knows why.<\/p>\n
It’s a gentle, cosy read, full of lovely made-up details. Unicorn horn polish mixed from stardust and moonbeams. A gnome who guards the gate at night. A delivery centaur called Cedric.<\/p>\n
Clover isn’t perfect, which makes her very easy to root for. She knows she shouldn’t have taken the necklace, and she worries about it. For a child who’s finding out that sharing can be hard, there’s a lot to recognise here.<\/p>\n
This isn’t Clover’s first adventure at the Agency. To go right back to where it began, with Clover chasing her runaway canary into the Woods, try Clover’s Luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
