Magicalia : Race Of Wonders

Magicalia: Race of Wonders by Jennifer Bell is a middle-grade fantasy adventure about Bitsy and her best friend Kosh, who are drawn into a secret world of ancient meteorites and magical creatures after Bitsy's father is kidnapped. Known as magicores, these strange beasts are conjured through different emotions, and the friends must learn to become conjurors while following clues across London, India, and Paris.

At the centre of their quest is Magicalia, a powerful bestiary that can help them understand the magical creatures they encounter. As Bitsy and Kosh race to rescue her father from a mysterious villain, they face unfamiliar dangers, uncover secrets, and become part of a world far beyond their ordinary lives.
