Summary from The Magical Animal Adoption Agency website
There's a new resident at the Magical Animal Adoption Agency-but this
one hasn't hatched yet! Mr. Jams brought home an enchanted egg from his
last journey, and Clover can't wait to find out what kind of creature
the polka-dotted shell contains.
But one morning when Clover checks on the cozy nest of feathers she's made for the egg, she finds it empty, and the baby animal is nowhere in sight!
But one morning when Clover checks on the cozy nest of feathers she's made for the egg, she finds it empty, and the baby animal is nowhere in sight!
Clover is anxious to find the creature, but the
Agency is full of visitors looking for pets of their own. Will Clover be
able to match them with their perfect companions and save the
mysterious animal before Mr. Jams returns from his trip?
Nayu's thoughts
Ah,
Disney-Hyperion, how I'm loving all the girly reads I'm slowly
discovering from you! While I haven't yet read the first book in this
cute series, I didn't feel that I was missing anything by being
plunged into Clover's world. It is so cool that she gets to help out
with magical creatures, taking care of them, having a great deal of
responsibility which in our world probably wouldn't happen to one so
young.
I liked how certain characters weren't as I expected they
would be (from my own experience of similar characters in other
books). I could feel Clover's panic when things started going a little
wrong, and liked how she managed to cope when disaster struck. The
creatures are cute and funny, and has me wanting Clover's job. I guess
I'll settle for my cat and birds, and reread this a lot so I can care
for mischievous animals from the comfort of a sofa.
Available to pre-order from bookstores including NRC affiliate Foyles.
