Wild Magic: Journey of the Lost Elephant

About this book

Twins Misha and Ziggy are back for a whole new adventure in the second instalment of Abiola Bello’s fantastic Wild Magic series. This time, the twins and their wildlife TV presenter dad are travelling to India, and they cannot wait to explore their developing powers. Misha, who can speak to animals, wants to meet all the fascinating creatures of the subcontinent, while Ziggy is excited to shapeshift into the incredible wildlife they encounter.

But while helping to map an elephant herd’s migration route, they discover that a vulnerable calf has gone missing. Determined, the twins set off on a quest to find the lost elephant and reunite it with its family before it’s too late.

As with the first in the series, Journey of the Lost Elephant achieves a brilliant blend of magic, nature, adventure, humour and heartfelt themes. With fab illustrations from Emma McCann throughout, and a well-pitched pace and level of complexity, this is a great choice for newly independent readers which subtly encourages empathy, courage, and respect for nature.
