About this book

When Mia discovers that she can change into animal form, she is invited to attend Wild Haven boarding school in Animagia. 

This enchanted land contains all kinds of habitats, from rainforests and grasslands to beaches and mountains, and is home to every creature of the world. Here, Mia and her fellow Animagicals will learn to hone their magical skills so they can protect all animals from harm.  

Mia is alarmed when she uncovers a plot to smuggle someone into Animagia through a secret tunnel in the Hidden Valley. Although she tries to warn her teachers, they are too busy to listen, so Mia and her new friends Willow, Finn, and Noah take matters into their own hands.

Determined to uphold their oath to protect the creatures of Animagia, the friends bravely face the dangers alone, but are their animagical skills up to the job?  

This exciting, magical adventure centres around kindness, friendship, and animal welfare, and has just the right level of jeopardy for junior readers. 

With short chapters and black and white illustrations, the series is ideal for newly independent readers who are ready to increase their confidence by tackling longer stories.
