I loved this book, from the moment that I started reading it, I was hooked and could not put it down. It moves along at a great pace, has interesting and unique characters that you want to know more about. No matter what happens you want to see them overcome everything in there way. The story will grab you and not let you go until the end, and then you cannot wait to read the next to find out what happens. This is a must read, no doubt about.

Wow wow wow I was so incredibly lucky to get an ARC of this book and it blew me away. I’m so hooked on Miri and her family. This story flowed well and didn’t have lag, it was intense and I found myself hating when I had to pull away and life because I was so drawn into New Orleans. The story had me guessing what things were or why they were happening. I can’t wait to dive into this family deeper and see where it all settles.

In 'Magical Miri' we meet Miri and her family. Her grandmother hints at a magical background, but Miri's mother doesn't want anything to do with it. After a while the mother decides to move away to her new boyfriend, with her two daughters. Something Miri is not looking forward to. Her life changes drastically after the move. In 'Magical Miri' Miri goes looking for herself.

I thought it was a nice and pleasant book to read. The plot appealed to me from the start and was well elaborated by the author. They story is enjoyable for any young adult-reader who loves a story with some magic in it. As a reader I found it interesting to see how Miri goes in search of herself and discovers life a bit. The book represents the age group very ell. The magic and fantasy elements also matched the story very well, and made it even more interesting because of the grandmothers stories.
However, it felt a bit like a slow read. I found the plot very interesting, but the story didn't seem to hold my attention for a long period of time. The story moves very fast and as a reader you get a lot of details. Sometimes it was a bit too much for me. This affected my reading experience in a negative way. Sometimes I felt that too many details were given for things that didn't matter. The setting in this book is very strong, but that is mainly because there are so many details given.
I found the setting and atmosphere fantastic, the surroundings of Miri became so lively. The details, however, distracted me from what mattered: the plot. The red thread of the story thus goes astray.
However, that exuberant writing style is also nice to read. The author has fascinating ways of telling a story, and despite the many details she still managed to convince me. I believed what she wrote and also found it interesting to get to know her characters better. The writing style itself is very smooth and the choice of words fits perfectly with the genre and the story.

'Magical Miri' is a nice fantasy YA story that involves the readers in the story. Despite the many details, it is a lively and interesting book.

This is the first book in the Gifted Girls series and follows Miri, her sister Belle and brother Mike, as their mother suddenly moves them out of their grandmother’s home to move in with her new boyfriend, Caleb, in the middle of the French Quarter, New Orleans. A place their grandmother has always told them to avoid. Miri’s brother hates Caleb and avoids Caleb as much as possible, staying out late every night. Their mother has always told them to ignore their grandmother’s tales that they are all descended from a powerful line of witches, some of the most powerful in New Orleans history. Miri thinks her grans stories are just that, stories, until she starts to see strange things happening around her sister Belle. Her brother Mike seems to be on drugs or something, always appearing late in the day with severely bloodshot eyes and tired looking, then going out really late every night, but never saying where he is going or what he is doing.

The girls had to start at a new high school, not knowing anyone, mid-way through the school year and in a completely new section of town! They have been given no options, whilst they are still too young to support themselves, they have to follow their mum’s rules, whilst under Caleb’s roof. On the day they move, Miri sees a weird looking girl watching her outside Caleb’s garage. She then sees her following her on another day. Ending up being pulled into a dark room off a bar, by the same girl and a big bouncer type guy, leaves her believing she is in a vampire cosplay room, which seems very realistic – but it can’t be, can it?

It seems their family bloodline is extremely powerful and other supernatural beings, especially in the French Quarter, are not happy with their presence. Miri starts to have violent nightmares about ghosts and mainly a voice from a cemetery. She is called a witch by her stalker vampire weirdo and has an ancestor that wants to possess her body! At least one good thing, is a boy from school called Phillip, who seems to like her! Only problem is that Caleb seems to have people in the Quarter following her and he spots her with Phillip when she should have been at home. Caleb is taking over her mum’s disciplining of them all and seems to have some sort of power or control over their mum.

Miri is finding daily life, especially at home getting harder and life in the Quarter more and more dangerous! Weird things are happening and her grandmother finally persuades her that she has magic and that magic is real! Unfortunately, is also comes with a great deal of danger to her and the rest of her family, as other people want her and her sister, but mainly her, dead! Mike has left, forced out by Caleb. Their mum is siding with Caleb and acknowledges her part in hiding what her grandmother had been trying to tell them. She wants her girls to be bound and without any magical powers at all, but she won’t believe what Caleb will do to stop them from gaining their full powers!

A convoluted family tale, with added magic being kept a secret from one generation of the family, but somehow managing to still escape and come alive. Odd happenings and weird people around them, soon reveal more than they should. A strong grandmother figure, who has been helping out some in the family and knows more than she has shown so far, and will have an important role in helping the girls reach their full potential. A good start to the series, with main characters being bound and having their magic hidden from them until recently. There are lots of supernatural beings hanging about in the Quarter, who will no doubt bring a lot of action to the rest of the series. An ideal location for the series. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely fiven my own opinion of the book above.

Reviews for "The unbreakable wooden man toy as a therapeutic tool"

- Jenny - 1 star - I was really disappointed with the Unbreakable wooden man magic toy. The description made it sound like it would be a durable and fun toy, but it broke within a day of my son playing with it. The quality is definitely not what I expected, and I feel like I wasted my money on it. I would not recommend this toy to anyone.
- Mark - 2 stars - The Unbreakable wooden man magic toy did not live up to its name at all. My daughter played with it for only a few hours before it started to show signs of wear and tear. The wood is not strong or durable, and the construction is not well-made. It's definitely not a toy that will last for a long time, and I don't think it's worth the price.
- Samantha - 1 star - I purchased the Unbreakable wooden man magic toy for my nephew's birthday, and I was very disappointed with the quality. The wooden pieces were poorly glued together, and they started to fall apart after just a few uses. The toy is definitely not as sturdy as advertised, and I would not recommend it to anyone looking for a durable toy.
- Alex - 2 stars - The Unbreakable wooden man magic toy was a huge disappointment. It claims to be unbreakable, but it broke within a week of my son playing with it. The wood is very fragile, and it's not able to withstand any rough play. The toy is also not very engaging or interesting for kids, and my son quickly lost interest in it. I would not recommend this toy to anyone looking for a durable and engaging plaything.
