‘Masking Magic’ by Bea Duncan is recommended for readers aged 8 to 14 years old. I’m much older than this demographic and was enchanted by this charming fairy story about differences, friendships and forgiveness.
Bea Duncan’s imagery is absolutely delightful; here are just two examples.
‘The Glimmering Glen was at its brightest that afternoon, as if the whole world had been dipped in honey.’
‘A single bee buzzed out… then another… then the whole swarm burst free, a living cloud of gold and fury.’
If you are looking for a wholesome, inspirational story, I highly recommend ‘Masking Magic’ to audiences of any age.
