Lapinski has not only created endless worlds made up of magic and colour, but characters made up of the same charm to fill them. This is the seventh book in Robin Steven’s Murder Most Unladylike series (for eight to 12-year-olds), following the detective adventures of Daisy Wells and Hazel Wong, two young schoolgirls attending boarding school in 1930s England,” said Jen. It allows kids to not only see themselves represented in the books they read but also helps them to gain an understanding and build empathy for characters and communities they might not identify with.

A fantastic new world with some new and unique characters made it a real joy to be back in this multiverse! Just like Newt's container the suitcases of the agency open up to allow one to enter not merely an expanded TARDIS-like space but alien worlds; and yet like those viewed by Will in The Subtle Knife not all worlds are like Earth, nor are they without peril.STRANGEWORLDS TRAVEL AGENCY is a wonderful story from start to finish - full of heart, whimsy and adventure, as well as twists and turns. Sú tu kufre, s ktorými sa dá cestovať medzi svetmi (čiže je to ako kombinácia TARDIS a kufra Newta Scamandera z Fantastických zverov), magická puklina (opäť Doctor Who), svet, kde ostávajú deti deťmi (ako stratení chlapci z Petra Pana) a osobne mám tiež pocit, že vo veľmi veľa detských príbehoch zmizne otec a dieťa sa vydá na dobrodružstvo ho hľadať (napríklad Artemis Fowl). Presenting herself as Julian, Jordan successfully auditions for an all-male a capella group and is forced to consider what it means to be female, male and, ultimately, herself. The second was pure adventure, with pirates, magic, sea beasts and new characters, the arc seemingly a background beat here and there. This wonderful celebration of a wide range of LGBTQ+ heroes - both famous and less well-known - is a beautiful book and highlights the lives of some truly inspirational people.

I can recommend this series for edge-of-the-seat excitement, nail-biting will-they / won't-they suspense. Once Flick realizes what’s happening she must race against time, travelling through unchartered worlds, seeking a way to fix Five Lights before it collapses into nothingness – and takes our world with it.When 12-year-old Flick Hudson finds The Strangeworlds Travel Agency, she uncovers a fantastic secret: there are hundreds of other worlds just steps away from ours. The blasted thing’s still got hold of me, Hudspeth,” she huffed, sounding more annoyed than frightened, even as the tentacle wrapped itself higher around her leg.

This charming picture introduces themes of identity and acceptance to young children through bright, expressive illustrations and visual clues to help children predict what will happen next. There are very many more questions and mysteries to be answered and solved and that is also the reason why I am rating this one a bit lower because it just seemed we never get that. An informative, no-nonsense guide looking at the concept of gender and the different issues surrounding it, featuring personal stories to bring it all to life. The interest slipped from Jonathan’s face like water vanishing through a sieve, and he gazed around in false astonishment.This gave me everything I wanted and more: Magic, friendship, adventures, scintillating baddies and old friends.
