Elfie's Spellbook Volumes 1 & 2: Elfie's Spellbook and The Song of the Cicadas
Un récit tendre et aventureux, entre mystères et charme des petites choses du quotidien. Elfie et Magda vivent depuis la mort de leur mère chez une tante acariâtre. Mais un jour leur soeur aînée revient de Londres : elle a transformé un bus anglais en librairie ambulante pour aller de village en village. Une nouvelle vie commence ! Leur première étape les amène dans une île bretonne où de vieilles rancoeurs secouent la population, pour un mystérieux timbre perdu. Mais surtout, Elfie découvre qu'elle a hérité des talents de sorcière de sa mère, et d'un grimoire qu'elle doit nourrir de ses écrits. Étourdie, créative, déterminée, passionnée d'origamis et d'astronomie, Elfie est un personnage attachant qui utilise une magie douce pour modifier le cours des évènements. Mais ça ne marchera pas toujours, et il faudra parfois ruser contre la magie elle-même pour la faire fonctionner ! Un récit tendre et aventureux, balançant entre mystères et charme des petites choses du quotidien, une histoire envoûtante tant pour les plus jeunes que leurs parents.

Magic, mysteries and a mobile bookshop
When Elfie and Magda’s big sister comes to collect them from their aunt the adventure is just about to begin. Louette has bought a big red bus and turned it into a mobile books shop. Meanwhile Elfie has been left a plan book from her mum but there is something very special about this book. Everywhere they visit there is a mystery the can help with.
This is a cosy story of the best kind. The story is wonderful and the illustrations are so beautiful. This is wonderful cosy read.
