Hurrah for marvellously magical grannies! This second book in Serena Holly’s glorious Granny Jinks series is a joy for newly independent readers, with Selom Sunu’s characterfully bold illustrations and themes of friendship, self-belief and community adding further depth and delight. What’s more, this story was inspired by Jenny Mayers, the first Black woman to be accepted into the Magic Circle, and shares secrets of a few magic tricks readers can try at home.
When Granny Jinks and Jada head to a very important meeting to watch a very important person at the Dalton Green Magic Society (namely, the Luminous Ms Leyla), Jada can tell from the twinkling in her granny’s eyes that Granny Jinks will soon be on her way to performing tricks as marvellous as Ms Leyla’s.
When Granny Jinks has doubts, Jada reminds her to “shoot for the moon” and “dream big”. That’s all well and good, until their magical assistant, Luna the cat, seems set on making mischief!
With lots of lovely dialogue and a skipping sense of drama, this is a sweetly magical story to encourage independent reading, or share.
Join Jada and Granny Jinks in this charming new series for readers aged 6+!
