Reviews

The third Magnolia Moon book is lyrical and delightful, just like the first two. It is a gentle story that shows kids and adults that being brave comes in lots of shapes and sizes, and that it can make us feel anxious and uneasy, but there is also power in being brave and courageous. * Ashleigh Meikle *
Magnolia is an everyday child with everyday worries but she tackles them with heart. Each chapter stands alone as little vignette of a situation where Magnolia has to find her inner courage, but also builds to a whole. Just lovely. * Sally Murphy *
...today I read all of The Courage of Magnolia Moon and as you can see I am giving it five stars. The final scene at the school dance is simply perfect. This is such a splendid series and I highly recommend you add them to your primary school library shelves. * Momo Time to Read *
