**Winner Announced**
Congratulations to Kathy from Cackles and Berries!

Jack has been a bookworm from day one of his little life, and since he started reading on his own a few months ago, his love of books has only multiplied. So when Victoria Simcox contacted me about reviewing her children’s book, The Magic Warble, I was thrilled to have the opportunity!

If you love the writings of CS Lewis, this story will be right up your alley. A message of hope resonates throughout this fantasy book, which tells the tale of 12-year-old Kristina, a girl who goes through life as somewhat of an outcast until a Christmas gift from a kind teacher changes everything! Kristina is magically transported to the world of Bernovem, a land with gnomes, fairies, animals that talk and a villain named Queen Sentiz. 

From the publisher:

Dwarfs, gnomes, fairies, talking animals, and an evil queen all these and more can be found in The Magic Warble, an enchanting tale of adventure and friendship.

Twelve-year-old Kristina Kingsly feels like the most unpopular girl in her school. The kids all tease her, and she never seems to fit in. But when Kristina receives an unusual Christmas gift, she suddenly finds herself magically transported to the land of Bernovem, home of dwarfs, gnomes, fairies, talking animals and the evil Queen Sentiz.

In Bernovem, Kristina not only fits in, she’s honored as ”the chosen one”, the only one who can release the land from Queen Sentiz’s control. But it s not as simple as it seems. To save Bernovem, she must place the gift she was given, the famous ”Magic Warble,” in its final resting place. And she must travel through the deep forest, climb a treacherous mountain, and risk capture by the queen s ”zelbocks” before she reaches her destination. Guided by her new fairy friends, Clover and Looper and by Prince Werrien, a teenage boy, as well as an assortment of other characters, Kristina sets off on a perilous journey that not only tests her strength but her heart.

    I spent my entire youth reading everything by CS Lewis and then re-reading it because it was so exciting. Sounds like a fabulous book to read.

    I love reading to my children each night before they go to bed. Even though they can read themselves they seem to enjoy having the stories read to them. We are running out of good – wholesome books to read. There just doesn’t seem to be a lot of quality stories being published anymore. This book sounds like it would be a wonderful read. Hope to get a chance to win. Thanks Amy!
