Book Synopsis

Discover your wild side! Join twins Misha and Ziggy as they put their extraordinary animal powers to the test in this new illustrated wildlife adventure series for readers 6+. For fans of Leonora Bolt and Space Detectives.

Misha and Ziggy are no ordinary twins. They have a secret that no one else knows: Misha can speak to animals and Ziggy can shapeshift into them!

The siblings couldn’t be happier to be joining their wildlife presenter father on a trip to Ethiopia, and they’re determined to help him bag the best footage of the legendary Black Lion.

When the Black Lion goes missing, Misha and Ziggy are certain their powers can help track it down, but they aren’t the only ones on the hunt for the extraordinary animal. Can the twins help keep the whole jungle safe from harm?

Our Review Panel says...

Wild Magic is a high-energy modern adventure series. Twins Misha and Ziggy head to Ethiopia with their wildlife presenter father, but the siblings have secret powers – she can talk to animals and he can shapeshift into them.

When a legendary lion goes missing, the twins use their powers to track it down. Abiola Bello’s story is a brilliant armchair travel experience, whisking readers through the Mercato Market and the Simien Mountains. The Ethiopian setting is a breath of fresh air and Emma McCann’s lively illustrations keep the pace moving.

The story showcases a great mix of family, conservation and just enough peril to keep readers hooked without becoming scary. With accessible spacing and punchy vocabulary, it’s a win for Year 2 and 3.
