 Clover's Luck
Despite her name, Clover has always felt decidedly unlukcy. So when she stumbles upon a mysterious cottage in the Woods, she can hardly believe her good fortune. It's the Magical Animal Adoption Agency, and it houses creatures of all kinds. Fairy horses, unicorns, and a fiery young dragon are just the beginning.
Mr. Jams, the Agency's owner, agrees to hire her as a summer helper, and Clover hopes her luck has finally changed. But when she's left alone to care for the Agency, a sneaky witch comes after the magical creatures! Will Clover outsmart her in time to protect the animals?
Featuring enchanting illustrations by Alexandra Boiger, Kallie George's charming tale, the first in the Magical Animal Adoption Agency series, is filled with heart and bursting with magic.
The Enchanted Egg
There's a new resident at the Magical Animal Adoption Agency - but this one hasn't hatched yet! Mr. Jams brought home an enchanted egg from his last journey, and Clover can't wait to find out what kind of creature the polka-dotted, colour-changing shell contains.
But one morning when Clover checks on the cozy nest of feathers she's made for the egg, she finds it empty, and the baby animal is nowhere in sight! Clover is anxious to find the creature, but the Agency is full of visitors looking for pets of their own. Will Clover be able to match them with their perfect companion and save the mysterious animal before Mr. Jams returns from his trip?
With charming illustrations by Alexandra Boiger, the second book in Kallie George's Magical Animal Adoption Agency series celebrates the magic of new friends and the power of seeing with your heart.
The Missing Magic
A new volunteer has joined the Magical Animal Adoption Agency, and Clover's not too happy about it! Oliver Von Hoof is supposed to be an expert on magical animals, but he's barely older than Clover. How can he be an expert on anything? He's certainly not very good at caring for the animals. So why does Mr. Jams keep asking him to help?
When Mr. Jams is called away frmo the Agency on a secret mission, Clover and Oliver are left in charge. It's their job to keep the animals happy, but something strange is going on. Picnic, the invisible puppy is turning visible, and Clover's green cat, Dipity, is losing his colour. All of the Agency's amazing creatures are becoming ordinary! And even Oliver's magic wands aren't enough to cure them. Will Clover and Oliver learn to work together before it's too late?
Alexandra Boiger's delightful illustrations shine in the third book of Kallie George's The Magical Animal Adoption Agency series, where an open heart can best the nastiest of spells.
As the library ran out of books that were specifically about unicorns, I started reading books that merely had unicorns appear in them. This is one of those series, but I'm glad I read it, I really loved them. While it is a bit of a stretch that an animal adoption agency owner would leave his agency in the hands of a little girl that just started the day before (it's a kids book, they always end up doing the work of the adults after all) it was fun watching her solve the problems that come up, and deal with the unusual customers that stop by the agency and the even more unusual animals they want to adopt. I found them lighthearted and fun and simply a pleasure to spend my time reading. Too bad there are only the three books, and given nearly four years have passed since the last one, it's unlikely there will be more.
BTW, I want a fairy horse!
