Magical Mea Goes to School, written by
Penelope Anne Cole and illustrated by Kevin Scott Collier, is a continuation of
the story and engaging characters we met in Ms. Cole’s Magical Matthew and Magical
Mea books.
Mea has
struggled in the past to use her magical powers for good and had to learn not
to be such a trickster with her powers. Now starting 2nd grade, Mea’s
brother, Matthew, his friend, Lily, and Grandma Nonie are concerned Mea won’t
keep her powers “fixing things” secret and feel she needs additional training. Mea
has other ideas and wants more play time so over-schedules her after school
hours to avoid her “lessons.” Not that the others should be concerned. Mea
shows she is perfectly capable of using her “trickster” magic for good all on
her own to “save the day.”
Ms. Cole is
wonderful at teaching lessons in a fun way without adult intervention and
embeds important messages (“I know I helped them and that’s enough”) in a
relatable and fun story kids will love.
Kevin Scott Collier’s vibrant illustrations are terrific and expressive
and really bring Ms. Cole’s story and characters to life.
