Synopsis

Returning to the remote Scottish island of her father’s childhood, Gertrude discovers the fascinating secret of the children of Hirta, they can see magical creatures! Children grew up with fond memories of friendships with all sorts of magical creature friends… or at least they did, before ‘The Storm’. Gertrude discovers she is only child left with Magic Vision and by finding magical creatures and the secrets contained in ancient texts, she sets out of her quest to restore magic vision to the children of Hirta, and discover the dark secret of The Storm. About the Magic Vision Series The Magic Vision Series provides young readers with exciting and challenging books to read as they seek to improve their reading skills, or read more interesting bed time stories, with each chapter leaving them hanging to read more. Each book is specially crafted to grow the lead character, a young girl, in her bravery, daring and ability to overcome adversity. The series prides itself on providing a pathway for younger readers (7-12yo) to develop to young adult books by providing strong, interesting and often funny characters to extend their imagination and vocabulary. The books were originally written not for publishing but to provide the authors daughter, who had initially struggled with reading, more interesting books to read to increase her interest in reading. And it worked. Her interest in reading has grown leaps and bounds and she has gone from a below average reader in class to a strong reader with above average comprehension. It was only when others started to read the story was it suggested to her father, the now author, to publish the books. The magical creature characters are based, as much as possible, upon regional folklore, mostly Scottish, with elements of Scots-Gaelic as the basis for the ancient language. I hope this initial trilogy provides your children as much joy in reading as it did mine. - P.J. MacMillan

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

The pen name P.J. MacMillan comes from two sources. Firstly P.J. is short for 'pyjamas' as the Gertrude character comes from many years of bedtime story telling to my daughters about the adventures of a young girl and her two magical dragon friends. ​Secondly the MacMillan name comes from a family association with the MacMillan clan and to remind my daughters, who were born and raised in Scotland before our family moved to Australia, of their Scottish heritage.
