The Magic Puffin by Sue Bentley
Review by Gina in Grade 5
The magic puffin is a magical adventure about a little girl who goes to visit her uncle and cousin on an island where they live. She has to live with them while her parents are at a tennis tournament. She really does not like her cousin but in the end it turns out just fine. A little puffin gets blown off course on his way home from a special mission and lands on their stoop while the little girl was outside getting away from her cousin. The rest of her stay with her uncle and cousin was not so bad because she has her new best friend to keep her company.
Gina says: If you like magical adventures then you will really like this book. I really, really loved this book because it was just so cool. I really could not put it down.
