Magrit by Lee Battersby, Amy Daoud
3.0
I received a copy of Magrit to review from Walker Books Australia. This is a junior book but I thought it sounded interesting.
Magrit has been living in the cemetery for years with only Master Puppet for company when the mysterious bundle falls into her world. Then, things start changing. Especially her friendship with Master Puppet.
I thought I had the story figured out early in the book but then some things started to confuse me a little. But it turned out I did have the right idea. The reader learns the truth along with Magrit.
Magrit is presented beautifully. It has cute illustrations through the book. It’s a weird and sad story but I found myself liking it. The book has a little over 150 pages so it didn’t take long to read.
It’s a little creepy but not too creepy for young readers. It’s something different and I think if I’d read this when I was a child I’d have loved it.
