Confidence and compassion, among other things, are important values for kids to learn. If the character was more relatable this would be an excellent book.
Thank you for your honest review!

I'm not really into stories with magical elements but The secret of magic sounds like a lovely choice for young readers. Thank you for your great review!

Thanks for this review. From reading the sample, I totally agree with what you say regarding the editing and also the level of language used. Still, this book might make a nice Christmas gift for someone. Many thanks for your comments.

At the age of 35, I find myself totally mesmerised by the cover, just like the reviewer said. I also wish to be like Tania :lol: Sounds like a feel-good read with an easy-to-understand moral.

Thank you for such an honest, inspired, and inviting review!

Although this book does seem ideal for children, I think I might still end up picking up this book for a lighthearted read. Thank you for the review, it clarified many things for me (especially the summary, which I found quite confusing on amazon). :)

This seems like a magical book and one that I would be glad to read, especially if there's a talking rabbit.

This sounds like a great book for young adults. The story is exciting with finding the forbidden box, which transports Tania to exciting places in history. It’s nice that some good lessons are included in the book. Thanks for a great review.

The story teaches us very important lessons - to do good, to be grateful for what you have and to not take things for granted. Sounds like a great read for kids and adults alike. Thank you for the review.
