Anything But Ordinary Addie: The True Story of Adelaide Herrmann, Queen of Magic by Mara Rockliff

4.0

Wow wow wow, this was a stunning looking book about a pretty stunning lady! I had never heard of Adelaide Herrmann, which is a huge shame, and her story was really quite interesting! Female magicians are fairly rare, even today, so reading about how she broke into the magic world was very empowering and awesome to learn about. The best part of the book is the stunning illustrations and design- it's colorful and whimsical and beautifully done. Kids will love looking at the pages just to enjoy the artwork, it's that good. Definitely recommend!
