This is a short original chapter book, lots of fun and ideal for bedtime with plenty of natural breaks so the story can be continued another night. It is perfect for kids aged between 4 and 10, either as a bedtime story read by an adult, or by early and beginning readers to read by themselves, at any time of the day. It is written in a simple easy to read way that doesn't 'talk down' to them, because I want them to feel that they have left the 'baby' phase of their life behind.
Annie and the Puppy:
Annie is a special 7 year-old girl who has MAGIC powers. Real ones, not just tricks like a TV magician does. Annie is a very smart girl and she only uses her magical powers when she really has to. In this story Annie and her best friend, Hannah are playing dress-ups with Annie's little brother, Jimmy, when things go terribly wrong and Annie must come to the rescue.
Her mother is so happy with the result that she rewards Annie and Jimmy by letting them choose a puppy to buy from the Animal Shelter.
But Magical Annie finds out that the people who control all the real magic in the world have plans for her and she is in for a big surprise when she goes looking for a puppy to take home. The fun is just about to start..
The emphasis of this book is on the story of Annie's adventure, not just the cute drawings that so many kid's story books rely on. It is for young minds that are ready to be filled with their own imagination. The next stage after books containing colorful pictures and a slim story line have ceased to be enough.
